About the TDS
TDS is UTMB Mont-Blanc week's rugged alternative to the flagship loop. Its own start in Courmayeur, 145-kilometre route and nearly 45-hour limit support a separate race guide and results identity.
Course
The point-to-point Alpine course gains about 9,500 metres while crossing the Aosta Valley, Savoie and Beaufortain toward Chamonix. Technical passes and long descents demand mountain experience.
Race-day weather
Late-August Alpine weather can swing from hot valleys to freezing rain, wind or storms on high passes. Night sections add another temperature cycle to an already exposed course.
