About the race
Trail des Hauts Forts offers stunning and challenging routes from 23-52km starting in Morzine and finishing in Avoriaz alt.1800m.
None of these routes are easy! The 23km has 1850m of climbing but covers some beautiful parts of the Morzine/Avoriaz landscape. This route climbs 1850m with only 992m of descent, runners need to prepare their legs for plenty of climbing!
The Trail du Fornet is 36km with 2820m of climbing and just under 2000m of descent includes a sunrise climb of the Nyon mountain. A truly superb way to start your day! A route that takes in mountain trails, single track and high mountain paths – this is a trail race that will impress and challenge runners until the finish line!
Finally the big one. The Trail des Hauts-Forts is 52km with an impressive 3820m of elevation (with just under 3000m of descent). The route follows the same path as the Trail du Fornet….but – just as you can hear the finishing celebrations of the shorter races…..there is a final descent leading to a KMV (kilometre vertical) before you too can cross the finish line in Avoriaz! We can definitely recommend this as a stunning route and challenging day out for any trail enthusiast….but poles are certainly worth considering!
