Vertical d' Aran 2026

Vertical d'Aran begins in Vielha's Plaça dera Crotz d'Occitania, by the town roundabout, and ascends directly towards Montcorbison's summit. This short mountain race in Val d'Aran presents a significant challenge: just over 4 kilometers with 1,200 meters of uphill elevation gain, concluding at 2,170 meters above sea level. As a pure vertical race, the objective is not distance but managing a steep, continuous ascent from town to the higher terrain above Vielha. Competitive runners participate in the main race, while the event also accommodates walkers and families with three formats, including a well-liked family walk starting from Bassa d'Oles and walking routes connected to Casau.
