Trail du Grand Ballon winter

16-17 Jan 2027

For the first time, the Trail du Grand Ballon invites you to an exceptional winter edition! Starting from Jungholtz, at the crossroads between the Alsatian wine-growing plain and the Vosges Mountains, you will set off on courses designed to showcase the richness and diversity of the region’s terrain. Here, winter changes everything. Cold, snow, rain or wet trails: every weather condition brings its own challenges and transforms the course. And that is precisely what makes this edition so special: an authentic, wild and unpredictable trail, where you will have to rely not only on your legs, but also on your ability to adapt to the conditions.
