About the race

The Trail des Gets is an exhilarating mountain challenge with breathtaking alpine views, catering to all skill levels. The 11km/500m+ course forms a loop from the village to Mont Caly, crossing the Mont Chery bubble and returning downhill. A perfect entry point for trail running, yet the 500m elevation gain in one ascent adds an exciting twist to this shorter race!

If you’re aiming for more, the 21km race guides you to the summit of Mont Chery mountain through mountain and forest trails, with some invigorating running in the middle section and demanding climbs in the final stretch.

The longest race spans 42km and embarks on a tour of Mont Chery and la Pointe d’Uble, culminating with the ascent to the peak of Mont Chery alongside the 21km participants.

For adults seeking a challenge, on Saturday morning there’s a 4-hour climbing contest – see how many times you can ascend under the Mt Chery telecabin in 4 hours! With 380m vertical climb in just 1.9km, enjoy refreshments at the peak to refuel and recharge for subsequent climbs. Not for the faint-hearted, but a thrilling challenge and an intense workout for your legs! Why not pair this with the 42km race on Sunday to truly push your trail endurance to the limit?!

Kids’ races on Saturday afternoon, offer a fantastic introduction to racing for youngsters aged 7-17. From an 800m sprint around the village for the little ones to a 6km course with uphill sections on the ski slopes for older groups! Perhaps the most competitive events of the weekend….!

Scheduled at the end of July each year, the village buzzes with the celebration of trail running! Expect a vibrant atmosphere and seamless organization.
