Departing from the centre of Grenoble, the Ultra tour des 4 Massifs (Ut4M) crosses the four surrounding alpine mountain ranges. Riding on the success of previous years, the Ut4M gains three new races and is now recognised as the great feast of the trail!

With such a broad range of races, the Ut4M is aimed at all mountain enthusiasts and trail runners alike. For runners of the highest fitness, the Ultra 160 km race is recognised as one of the most difficult trails, with passages at 2400m ASL and climbs over 2200 of terrain non-stop. Both the Ut4m Vertical and the Ut4M 160 feature the famous climb of Arselle, a 1000m climb!
