The route

A loop of the Alte Vie high routes beneath Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso, climbing straight out of Courmayeur onto the ridges. Valley-floor life bases (Valgrisenche, Cogne, Donnas, Gressoney) are where you eat, drop bags and sleep.

What the Tor throws at you

Typical sessions

Relentless vertical: around 24,000m of climbing and equal descent over 25-plus passes above 2,000m.

Technical high-Alpine terrain: rock, scree, snow and exposed cols, some above 3,000m.

Multi-night sleep deprivation across four to six continuous days, all self-managed.

Semi-self-sufficiency: no pacer, strict mandatory kit, and life bases as your only real support.

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Big-vert mountain days of 6 to 10 hours, targeting 2,500 to 4,000m of climbing.

Back-to-back and triple mountain days (Saturday, Sunday, into Monday) to build multi-day durability.

Technical downhill repeats to condition quads and footwork for the descending.

An overnight-into-next-day run with a planned nap, rehearsing sleep debt and self-sufficiency.
