The 6000D, a legendary race and the first of its kind, is still considered a challenge by most trail runners. Climbing from the apple orchards up to the glacier is a real feat! 4000m of elevation gain over a 63km course that takes participants from the village of Aime in the valley to the top of Bellecôte glacier at 3047m via La Plagne's different altitude villages, then coming back down through the forest to Montchavin and finishing along the Isère river. The trail is well marked with 95% of it on regular walking paths. There will be a large, enthusiastic crowd all along the trail to cheer you on you during the 24th edition, on Saturday, July 27th 2013.

In order to stay as close as possible to 'trail' conditions, there will only be 4 refuelling stations (food and drink) and 3 water points (drinks only) over the 63km. We strongly advise participants to carry a camel bag or a gourd so they are self-sufficient.
For the 3rd consecutive year, the 6000D will be included in the Trail Tour National 2013. For more information, see TTN section in the menu.
