UTMB Mont-Blanc ETC 2026
Also known as: ETC® · Experience Trail Courmayeur · UTMB ETC
A short loop starting and finishing in Courmayeur, Italy. It climbs steadily to balconies above the Aosta Valley facing Mont Blanc, then returns to town. It is short but steep, a way into the UTMB week for runners new to the sport.
The course tops out at 1,955 m (low point 1,222 m). The main climb comes right from the start: 733 m around 0–6 km. About 30% of the distance is gentle (under 5% grade). In 2026, 96% of starters finished. The median finish was about 3 h.
