Course identity

Tor des Géants 330 starts and finishes in Courmayeur, Italy, loops beneath the highest Alps and is officially 330 km with about 24,000 m of climb. This page pins the 2026-tor-des-geants-official-course version using the organiser's public material from TORX / VDA Trailers.

Tor des Géants is not an overlong marathon but multi-day alpine exposure: altitude, weather, sleep, aid and self-sufficiency jointly determine risk. The official GPX helps with the loop only and does not replace mandatory kit, park rules or race medical arrangements.

What this page does not provide

The organiser provides an official GPX download; this page links to it but does not bundle or redistribute it. It does not treat a third-party track, illustration or elevation sketch as official geometry; race-day routes can also change because of construction, weather or safety arrangements.

How to use this page

Treat it as a pinned-version entry, not a navigation tool. Confirm the year, category and direction, then check the organiser's technical material for that edition. Use the pace calculator for arithmetic and read the marathon distance for training context. Ultra and trail races also require separate checks of mandatory kit, aid spacing, weather windows and escape options.
