TRULY ALPINE because of its landscapes: with its mountain pasture chalets, snow covered passes and mountain lakes, Ultra-Trail® du Haut-Giffre allows its participants to revel in the rich diversity of its alpine setting.

TRULY ALPINE because of its elevation: with an average elevation of 70 to 80m per kilometre run on the main routes, Ultra-Trail® du Haut-Giffre is actually one of the steepest on the circuit so you’ll need to be in peak physical condition.

TRULY ALPINE because of its technicality: on top of the mighty elevation, Ultra-Trail® du Haut-Giffre is also demanding and participants will need to prove their technical abilities to complete the course. Snow covered passages, steep slopes, exposed tracks, scree, rocks… forget rolling hills because there are very few on our courses!

TRULY ALPINE in spirit: humility, support and encouragement between the competitors, personal achievement, respect for the surrounding environment… all of this great mountain spirit comes together in this tour and embodies the essence of the race.
