An extreme, challenging race, with several levels of difficulty: this summer, on July 23 and 24, La Thuile Trail will take place, a trail and ultratrail race set among the spectacular landscapes of Mont Blanc and the 4,000-metre peaks of the north-western Alps. Pure energy for the body and spirit, to which FLOKY will also contribute as Main Sponsor of the event.
La Thuile Trail is a complete immersion in history, nature, and its colours. It is divided into three races with different levels of difficulty. The trail, the original one, features a 25 km route at the foot of the Ruitor glacier, passing by the Deffeyes Refuge, with a positive elevation gain of 1,500 metres. The ultratrail, 60 km long with 3,500 m of positive elevation gain, takes place among breathtaking views of Mont Blanc. The vertical, short but intense, climbs in 4 km and 1,000 metres of positive elevation gain along the Ski World Cup slope No. 3 Franco Berthod, with gradients reaching 70%.
