Trail des Dents du Midi is a historic mountain trail race in Switzerland featuring an iconic loop around the Dents-du-Midi massif.

What this race demands

Trail des Dents du Midi demands exceptional climbing endurance and technical mountain stamina over a demanding 57 km alpine loop with 3700 meters of elevation gain.

Climbing volume

Accumulating 3700 meters of elevation gain across a 57 km course requires sustained climbing strength and power endurance for relentless ascents.

Descent durability

Navigating mountainous terrain over a long-distance trail format places high eccentric loading demands on the quadriceps and stabilizing muscles during descents.

Alpine endurance

A September mountain race in Switzerland exposes athletes to rapidly changing weather and significant time on feet, requiring deep aerobic conditioning.

Given the extended duration across 57 km of mountainous terrain, athletes should consume 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy balance.
