Tor des Geants

The TOR450 - Tor des Glaciers is an exceptional and unmissable event, launched to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the TOR330 - Tor des Géants®. An endurance test reserved exclusively for 200 runners chosen to take on the little-known trails and ridges of the Valle d'Aosta, to add a spark of adventure to the competition aspect. A group of people whose names will go down in the annals of the TOR as those who took part in a competition that may never be repeated, and can claim membership of the exclusive high altitude ultratrailers club. Most of the trail's 450k route is along the forgottent Alte Vie 3 and 4. It crosses ridges that are largely unknown and touches on ancient glaciers far away from the usual trekking routes. These paths are frequented only by people who are in their element in Alpine landscapes, adore solitude and appreciate the grandeur of the high peaks. A truly exclusive, unique and unmissable trail that you will undertake completely alone, with only the magnificent high-altitude lodges for reference points and support.

The TOR330 - Tor des Géants® is the first and only race to combine long distance with the individual style of runners: the organisation does not impose any compulsory stages, and the winner will be the runner who completes the race in the shortest time, making his or her own decisions on when and how long to stop for rest and refreshment. The Tor des Géants® is the first race of this kind to cover an entire region, running along its spectacular paths at the foot of the highest Four-Thousanders in the Alps and through the Gran Paradiso Natural Park and the Mont Avic Regional Park. All of these particular features help make this such a unique, inimitable race. This trail is more than just a competitive sports event; it is also a way to promote tourism in the Valle d’Aosta, through the municipalities the race runs through.

The TOR130 - Tot Dret is the race associated with the hardest and most fascinating trail race in the world: the Tor des Géants®. A considerable taste of the magical environments that it crosses and its inimitable atmosphere. A trail race of 130 kilometers with 12 thousand meters of ascent starting from Gressoney and ending in Courmayeur. A real, challenging, fascinating race, with the most desirable mountains in the region - Monte Rosa, Cervino and Mont Blanc - as a majestic backdrop. The hour barriers are fixed by calculating the average distance over 3.02 KM / h for the slowest passages, a tough but unique race for its beauty suitable for well trained and prepared trailers.

From Cervino (Matterhorn) to Mont Blanc. The two most iconic mountains in Europe, known worldwide for their grandeur, their capacity to unite people and territories, as well as for the wide range of outdoor activities they offer, are now even more connected through trail running. Introducing the TOR100 – Cervino-Monte Bianco, the new challenge of TORX®️. 100 kilometers in length with 8,000 meters of elevation gain.

A race through extraordinary landscapes. A 30k race on technical trails through unparalleled landscapes, designed for specialists but open to anyone who wants to experience the allure of mountain racing. The TOR30 - Passage au Malatrà is a highly emotional experience in a magical, high-altitude setting. Crossing the narrow Col de Malatrà pass at an altitude of 2925 metres is like passing through the 'gateway to Paradise'. Not just because of the vast, imposing landscape - with the entire Mont Blanc range on one side and the ridges of the Grand Corbin that reach heights of over 4300 metres on the other - but also because Malatrà marks the beginning of the most fascinating stretch of the Tor des Géants®, descending through wide valleys and woods and delivering runners to the finishing line in Courmayeur. The TOR30 - Passage au Malatrà comes under the 'short' race category, but does requires knowledge and preparation, in terms of both the differences in altitude that the athletes will confront, and the altitude at which the race is run. Nevertheless, the commitment is amply rewarded with a natural environment that is found nowhere else in the world.
