The Tor des Géants® is the first and only race to combine long distance with the individual style of runners: the organisation does not impose any compulsory stages, and the winner will be the runner who completes the race in the shortest time, making his or her own decisions on when and how long to stop for rest and refreshment.
The Tor des Géants® is the first race of this kind to cover an entire region, running along its spectacular paths at the foot of the highest Four-Thousanders in the Alps and through the Gran Paradiso Natural Park and the Mont Avic Regional Park. All of these particular features help make this such a unique, inimitable race.
This trail is more than just a competitive sports event; it is also a way to promote tourism in the Valle d’Aosta, through the municipalities the race runs through.

A foot race in natural surroundings that follows Alte Vie paths 1 and 2 in the Valle d'Aosta (Italy), starting and finishing at Courmayeur.
A distance of 356km with a positive altitude difference of around 27,390 metres (ITRA evaluation), passing through 34 municipal districts. The race is run in a single, free-speed stage within a limited time, in conditions of semi-self-sufficiency.
The route of the TOR330 - Tor des Géants® includes several high-altitude sections, including some over 3000 meters, with extremely harsh weather conditions (wind, cold, rain, snow and ice), alternating with sections at much lower altitudes where the conditions can be the exact opposite (very hot).
Runners must be prepared for varying weather conditions between one life base and the next (around 50km), both day and night. Your choice of clothing and the equipment you carry with you should therefore reflect what is required for these particular circumstances.
Rigorous training and a physical capacity for personal autonomy are essential requirements for taking part in this race.
