Grand Raid Kiprun 3 Vallées Moûtiers

About the Event

Swap your skis for trail shoes and immerse yourself in the majestic beauty of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes during the Grand Raid Kiprun 3 Valleys, scheduled for the first weekend of August. Nestled between the Tarentaise Valley and Maurienne Valley, this renowned ski area transforms into a haven for trail runners eager to explore its diverse landscapes.
The event offers various distances catering to all levels of endurance athletes. At the pinnacle is "The Ultra of the 3 Valleys," an epic 170-kilometer journey with over 12,000 meters of elevation gain—a feat that rivals even the UTMB in technicality and challenge. Participants will traverse stunning panoramas featuring mountains, lakes, and dense forests while avoiding any shortcuts via ski lifts.
For those preferring a team effort or looking for an alternative route, there's also "The Odyssey of Caron," stretching 110 kilometers with nearly 6,000 meters of elevation gain starting from the lofty Cime de Caron summit. This race is as much about conquering heights as it is about navigating challenging terrain.
Ultra enthusiasts can opt for "The Challenge of the Masse" at a more manageable yet still formidable distance of 70 kilometers with over 3,200 meters of elevation gain or take on the marathon-length trail of 50 kilometers and nearly 2,600 meters from Saint-Martin-de-Belleville. Both routes offer breathtaking views and technical trails that test even seasoned runners.
For shorter races, "The Balconies of Saint-Jean" covers a scenic 25-kilometer route with over 1,100 meters of elevation gain starting in Saint-Jean-de-Belleville, while the shortest event is "The Starry of the Thermes," a picturesque 10-kilometer run that begins and ends at Brides-les-Bains under starlit skies.
Post-race recovery involves unwinding amidst nature’s grandeur. Refresh yourself with icy glacier water from nearby lakes or indulge in local delicacies like croziflette or diots cooked in red wine, found in the charming resort villages and high-altitude refuges.
The Grand Raid Kiprun 3 Valleys promises an unforgettable adventure through some of France's most breathtaking landscapes, leaving every participant with memories to cherish.
