Snow race de Montgenèvre 2027

Snow Race de Montgenèvre is a snow trail race in Montgenèvre, a high ski resort in the Hautes-Alpes of southeastern France, near the Italian border between the Clarée valley and the Susa valley. Runners start at about 1,860 meters above sea level, usually in early February, so this is proper winter running rather than a muddy off-season trail. The event offers a shorter 11 km race, Le Rocher Diseur, for people trying snow racing, and a main 22 km race, the Snow Race - Tour des Forts, built as two loops. The course sends runners through mountain and forest terrain around one of France’s oldest ski resorts, with cold race-day conditions often sitting somewhere between light freeze and chilly thaw. Warm clothing is part of the kit, and the altitude matters as much as the snow underfoot. The field is aimed at trail runners who want a compact winter challenge, not a road race with a dusting of white on the side.
