Trail running destination
Verbier - Pays du St-Bernard : a shared project
For a number of years already, the Verbier/Val de Bagnes region and that of
the Pays du Saint-Bernard have been part of world-famous trail races such
as the Ultra-Trail du MontBlanc (UTMB) and the Verbier-Saint-Bernard Trail
(VSB), as well as the Trail du Vélan or the SwissPeaks Trail. In 2020, the two
tourist boards got together to mark out about 20 different itineraries to promote
this increasingly popular sport. The variety of scenery and terrain have allowed
for the creation of a whole network of very diverse trails. These were selected
by experienced trail runners with an in-depth knowledge of the sport and the
region: Jules-Henri Gabioud, winner of the Tor des Géants in 2011 and runnerup
in the PTL in 2019 and Emily Vaudan, 3rd place in the X-Alpine VSB trail.
415 km - 33’000 D+
The different routes, which cover a total distance of 415km, with an ascending
elevation of over 33,000m, allow you to discover the cultural and natural attractions of
the region such as the Louvie lake, the Combe de l’A, the Catogne, the Corbassière
glacier and the Mauvoisin dam. The degree of difficulty varies from those with less
than 500m difference in elevation, ideal for beginners, to those covering a distance of
over 20km, with up to 1,000m difference in elevation, which are perfect for experienced
runners. The trails are accessible from April to October, depending on the altitude
and degree of exposure. Detailed descriptions of each itinerary can be found on the
Verbier/Val de Bagnes and Pays du Saint-Bernard tourist office websites. A brochure
with a map is also available to assist in the planning of an outing in this extensive area.
