--------------
- This is a 17.5km hiking / running trail with 900m elevation gain in La Plagne. It is a demanding route with a long climb to La Roche (6/7km for 900m elevation gain), the route across to La Plagne Montalbert and a descent via Longefoy and Les Esserts to come back to Aime
- A variant for anyone who prefers an easier circuit is to go up to Montgilbert then towards Planchamp and Montvilliers to reach Longefoy and Les Esserts.for a distance of 11.5km and 530m elevation gain.
- Another idea for athletes who just want to do a climb and a descent is to go up to La Roche and back down.
There is something for everyone!
Do not forget to take water and something to eat with you!
