Description
Trail running is a form of running in natural surroundings, on mountain trails that are often technical and feature significant elevation changes. More physically demanding than hiking, it offers a unique way to explore the landscape, combining physical exertion with immersion in nature.
In Les Arcs, a wide range of routes is available to suit all skill levels, from accessible trails to more technical courses. Some iconic routes, such as those of the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® or the Trace des Ducs de Savoie®, also traverse the area.
For those looking to take it further, guided outings are offered through Trail HERO Les Arcs, allowing you to explore the most beautiful trails in a group and benefit from the advice of an experienced coach.
