Trail running on the wild side of Mont Blanc
The ASICS La Thuile Trail is one of the most fascinating mountain races in the Alps, set in La Thuile, in the Aosta Valley, on the wildest and least-visited side of Mont Blanc. The routes wind through alpine pastures, valleys, and high altitudes, crossing the area of the Rutor Glacier and passing by the legendary Rifugio Deffeyes, offering panoramas that alone are worth the effort of the race.
The event offers four routes designed for every level of preparation:
La Thuile Trail is not just about sport: the event is a Memorial dedicated to Edo Camardella and is linked to the official charity DEBRA Family, giving the race a solidarity value that goes beyond competition. The organization relies each year on the valuable support of numerous volunteers.
With the participation of hundreds of athletes from different nations, the ASICS La Thuile Trail has established itself as an event of international appeal for trail running, capable of promoting the Municipality of La Thuile and the entire Aosta Valley as a destination of excellence for mountain running.
On July 25, 2026, La Thuile celebrates the tenth edition of its Trail. The big new feature is the 10 km Short Trail, which expands the offering alongside the now-classic distances. All routes run along the wild side of Mont Blanc, between the Rutor Glacier and Rifugio Deffeyes, with start and finish in the center of La Thuile.
Four routes starting from the town center:
The routes cross the Rutor Glacier area and pass by Rifugio Deffeyes. The event is a Memorial dedicated to Edo Camardella and has DEBRA Family as its official charity. Online registration on Wedosport ([email protected]).
