La ValPe 2026

La ValPe is a mountain nature trail race held in Arvillard, a village in Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France. It takes place in mid-October, with its main attraction being a 17 km trail route, which is also the most frequently chosen distance. The 17 km course is a single loop covering 1,300 m of elevation gain. While short on paper, it is steep in practice. The race is part of a platform designed to help runners of all abilities discover events that link them with French locations and traditions. The appeal is clear: a challenging mountain trail in a specific part of the Savoie Alps.
