Course & challenge

TOR450 - Tor des Glaciers

The Tor des Glaciers follows the forgotten Alte Vie 3 and 4 across untamed ridges and high glacial valleys of the Aosta Valley. Entry is limited to 200 runners who have already proven their endurance by completing the TOR330 under 130 hours. Operating in total autonomy with only mountain refuges for support and a 190-hour cutoff, competitors navigate technical terrain far above standard trail networks in unpredictable mountain conditions.

This page belongs specifically to the 2026 TOR450. Gun times, distance, elevation gain and course references remain fixed to this edition rather than being overwritten in future years. A Livebib broadcast linked to this race tracks the runner along the stored route across the high Alps, offering friends and followers continuous location data and checkpoint projections.
