Other trail races within 86 miles
The newest and most accessible race in the Échappée Belle family — a 42 km point-to-point from Valgelon-La Rochette to Aiguebelle with a distinctly Savoyard character. The course climbs through the ridges of Val Pelouse and Le Grand Chat, passes through the villages of Arvillard and Bourget-en-Huile, and delivers excellent views of the Belledonne massif and neighboring peaks including Mont-Blanc. A challenging marathon-format trail for runners wanting a taste of Belledonne terrain without the multi-day commitment.
