Reading the route
Les Sentiers des Valdôtains climbs non-stop between the Aosta valley and the Gressoney valley, with the Matterhorn on one side and Monte Rosa on the other. It starts from Aosta at 6:30 pm, late in the day.
From Aosta, the trail climbs straight toward Blavy, then Valchourda, on high-mountain trails through the Aosta Valley.
It then crosses La Magdeleine and Cheneil, passes through Breuil-Cervinia, then crosses the highest pass of the course, at 2,978 m.
It drops toward Gressoney-La-Trinité before reaching Gressoney-Saint-Jean, through Walser villages. The late start still leaves runners 36 hours to finish.
