Sleep at the start of the Trail de Grand Ballon. No travel, no stress: both the start and finish are literally at Hôtel & Spa Les Violettes. The ideal base to be well-rested at the start line and immediately enjoy full comfort after your trail. Want to stay overnight here? Book early – this is without a doubt the best location for the race weekend.

Find all the practical information for supporters here. Where to position yourself, how to reach the refreshment areas open to the public, what the passage times are... Our Spectator Guide is currently being prepared and will be available a few weeks before the race.

For those who want even more, the Trail du Grand Ballon can also be experienced over two days! Two challenges are on offer: The Hivernale 45 with 25 km on Saturday and 20 km on Sunday, and the Hivernale 60 with 25 km on Saturday before tackling 35 km on Sunday. Two starts, two routes, and above all, a night to recover before putting your shoes back on. In the middle of winter in the Vosges, the second day could well be the most interesting… 45 or 60 km: it's up to you to choose your challenge.
