L'Échappée Belle Parcours des Crêtes

The most accessible of the Belledonne ultras — but don't be fooled. The 63 km Parcours des Crêtes runs entirely on singletrack and high ridges from Super Collet d'Allevard to Aiguebelle, staying on or near the ridge crests for much of its length. While less off-piste than the longer distances, the section between Claran Pass and Val Pelouse remains highly technical. Four main ridgelines above 2,000 m deliver sweeping panoramas stretching to Mont-Blanc and across the entire western Alps. ITRA 3-point race, UTMB Index classified.
