FLOKY Main Sponsor of the La Thuile Trail: full immersion in the wild nature of the Alps
An extreme, challenging race with multiple difficulty levels: this summer, on July 23rd and 24th, the La Thuile Trail will take place, a trail and ultra-trail race against the spectacular backdrop of Mont Blanc and the 4,000-meter peaks of the Northwestern Alps. Pure energy for body and spirit, with FLOKY, the event’s Main Sponsor, also contributing.
La Thuile Trail is a complete immersion in history, nature, and its colors. It is divided into three races with varying difficulty levels. The original trail race is a 25 km route at the foot of the Ruitor glacier, passing by the Deffeyes refuge, with a 1,500 meter elevation gain. The ultratrail race, 60 km long and with a 3,500 meter elevation gain, takes place amid breathtaking views of Mont Blanc. The short but intense vertical race climbs the Franco Berthod Ski World Cup slope No. 3 for 4 km and a 1,000 meter elevation gain, with gradients reaching 70%.
