About Val Tho SUMMIT GAMES
The Val Tho SUMMIT GAMES were designed in collaboration with athletes, trail experts and the ski resort. Val Thorens with a double objective: to innovate and energize by drawing on the assets of the resort to bring real physiological, technical and dietary benefits to practitioners.
Summer, like winter, Val Thorens innovates and cultivates astonishment to benefit everyone from its natural assets. A true mountain running festival, the Val Tho Summit Games is the turbo effect in a trail running calendar, and the spark for amateur athletes who want to get started in the best conditions.
It's time to innovate when it comes to mountain running. There are many participants, the racing calendar is already very dense but the format always remains the same. Trail running is a taste for effort but also fun and freedom. The playing field and the state of mind of Val Thorens is ideal for imagining new things and moving the sport and its practitioners forward, and I am proud to be able to collaborate in this dynamic.
