Torrazienne 2027

The Torrazienne is a short mountain race held in La Giettaz, a village in Savoie within the French Alps. This ski touring event is scheduled for early March. It features a 5 km route at altitude, designed for runners and ski-mountaineers who enjoy steep winter terrain. The primary format involves a steep ascent: 700 metres of positive elevation gain over just 5 km. Local descriptions characterize it as a race reaching the summit, explicitly targeting "mountain fanatics" instead of casual road runners. The race's history is still developing, with this year marking its third edition.
