La 6000D

Individual challenge, accessible to all
A positive altitude difference of 3400m for a total course of 69km. The route takes runners from the village of Aime in the valley to the summit of the Bellecôte Glacier at 3047m, passing through the high-altitude resorts of Grande Plagne before descending through the forest at Montchavin les Côches and finishing along the Isère river. A high-flying, signposted route, 95% on paths and tracks.

6000D atmosphere
For this 33rd year, a large and enthusiastic public will be cheering you on all along the 6000D course, on SATURDAY JULY 29, 2023 for the 6000D, the 6000D 3-man relay (new) and Friday July 28, 2023 for the 6D Lacs.
Access to the Roche de Mio / Col de la Chiaupe / Live 3000 gondola will be open this summer to encourage runners at a preferential rate.

To keep as close as possible to the spirit of the Trail, there are only 5 refreshment points (food and drink) and 3 water points (drinks only) on the 69 km route. A camel bag or water bottle holder is highly recommended.
Self-sufficiency is recommended.
