Trail
Between France and Switzerland, on the summits of Chablais, our waymarked trails promise all the joys of running at high altitude. So why not try it this summer?
Linked up by 23 lifts, this borderless region boasts 32 peaks exceeding elevations of 2,000 metres that can be reached on foot. So it’s only natural that the Portes du Soleil, a summer playground of unmatched dynamism, should become a hotspot for trail runners.
Figures
- 470 km of marked trails and singletracks
- 48 marked routes
- Elevation gains ranging from 180 meters to over 3000 meters
- 2 countries
Trail running reinvented without borders
Avoriaz invites you to travel beyond the borders, between France and Switzerland, on one of the 48 permanent routes. With the Multi Pass card, you can choose your valley, your village of departure and level of difficulty (distance/elevation range), then slip on your trainers and off you go.
A dedicated terrain marker with a precise pictogram will allow each runner to follow his path easily. More than 1,700 pictograms and a sign every 250 m or so will ensure that runners find their way easily.
