Mountain trail towards Becca d'Aver, through the pastures of Torgnon
The Torgnon Pink Trail takes place in Torgnon, a small municipality in Valtournenche, Aosta province, situated on a sunny plateau at over 1,500 meters altitude. Organized by the association ASD 4 Pink Trail, the event was born in 2021 and has quickly established itself as one of the most beloved autumn mountain running events in the Aosta Valley, when the larch trees turn yellow and the pastures offer soft light.
The main trail race unfolds on a loop of approximately 19 km with 1,200 meters of positive elevation gain, starting and finishing in the center of Torgnon. The course winds through the hamlets and pastures of the area, ascending to the Becca d'Aver, a natural balcony offering exceptional views of the Matterhorn and the great peaks of Valtournenche, before descending back down. Alongside the main race, the Vertical offers a shorter and more intense course, about 8 km with 1,000 meters of elevation gain, finishing in the Monte Meabé area.
The event is not just for athletes: Saturday is dedicated to the Mini Trail delle Teppe, a race for children and youngsters along the trails around the village, designed to introduce the younger generation to mountain running in a festive atmosphere.
The Torgnon Pink Trail is part of the Tour Trail Valle d'Aosta-Vallée d'Aoste circuit, which brings together various mountain running races across the region and awards points for the final standings. Running in Torgnon means joining a larger journey that, edition after edition, showcases the Aosta Valley's passion for trail running and mountain culture.
