The Champagny en Vanoise Tourist Office is organising the 36th edition of the Trails Alpins du Grand Bec (TAGB).

These popular races have become a must-do in the Tarentaise region during the summer.
The Trails Alpins du Grand Bec are foot races on tracks and trails in forests and mountain pastures. Existing for over 30 years, these trails are approved by the French Athletics Federation and since this year by the ITRA.
