A high-flying, signposted route, 95% on paths and tracks.
The 6000D atmosphere
For this 33rd year, a large and enthusiastic public will be cheering you on all along the 6000D course, on SATURDAY 29 JULY 2023 for the 6000D, the 6000D 3-man relay (new) and on FRIDAY 28 JULY 2023 for the 6D Lakes.
Access to the Roche de Mio / Col de la Chiaupe / Live 3000 cable car will be open this summer to encourage the runners at a preferential rate.
