THE DREAM

About Grand Raid Kiprun 3 Vallées Moûtiers — what makes it special

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

This trail festival traverses the world’s largest ski domain, Les 3 Vallées, in summer.

The flagship 165 km ultra gains 12,000 m—more than UTMB—and starts on Thursday night in Moûtiers before crossing seven resorts.

The inaugural 2026 edition drew 1,767 runners from 14 countries, establishing a new major event in the Tarentaise Valley.

More details

Getting to the start

Confirmed via official site: race takes place in the Tarentaise valley/Three Valleys ski area, Savoie (French Alps) — courses pass through Brides-les-Bains, Méribel, Courchevel, Val Thorens, Les Menuires, Orelle, and the Belleville valleys, converging at Moûtiers for the finish. No train station (gare) information is stated on the official site.

Mountain/rural Alpine venue where limited public transit is expected, but no reliable specific transit detail could be confirmed in this research pass.

Getting to the finish

Finish at Moûtiers town center (historic heart of Tarentaise), per official site.

Start shuttle

Official site's "Coureurs" section references a "Navettes" (shuttle) feature, but the specific shuttle text retrieved during this research referenced towns near Saint-Tropez (~250km away) — geographically inconsistent with this race's Savoie/Tarentaise location. Flagged as unreliable/likely mismatched content rather than reported as fact.

Transit card

Moutiers is an Alpine venue in Savoie reached by SNCF TER trains from Chambery or Albertville rather than any city transit card. Local ski-resort shuttle buses serve the surrounding valleys and are often free or included with a lift pass in winter season.

READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

The base camp at Moûtiers is the cut-off point town in the Tarentaise Valley,

with direct TGV service from Paris and Moûtiers–Salins–Brides-les-Bains station in town.

Travel to the individual starts in Les Menuires, Saint-Martin-de-Belleville and Brides-les-Bains by valley bus or event shuttle.

Registration is online only through the official website.

Because of the high-altitude course, carefully check the mandatory equipment list for your event.

Even in late July, temperatures can drop sharply on the ridgelines, so windproof and warm layers are essential.

Times are local to Moutiers. Check the latest official information before the race.
