The whole Aosta valley is waiting for the eight edition of the endurance trail race Tor des Géants. The name, meaning Tour of Giants, in the local language Valdôtain patois, refers of course to the region’s many Four-Thousanders sourronding the trail.
The tour follows the two high-level treks Alta Via 1 and 2, passing through both Gran Paradiso Natural Park and the Mont Avic Regional Park, covering a total of 336 km with an altitude range of 24,000 meters (like climbing the Mont Blanc five times).
