Trail des Passerelles du Monteynard
The Trail des Passerelles du Monteynard is a multi-day trail event held in early July on the shores of Lake Monteynard, between the Matheysine and Trièves areas. The programme comprises a variety of races, a randonnée and children's competitions distributed across several towns around the lake.
Key race distances and characteristics include:
- 14 km 750 m positive elevation
- 27 km 1 300–1 400 m positive elevation
- 13 km (Mine Express duo) 700 m positive elevation
- 16 km 700 m positive elevation

- 40 km 2 100 m positive elevation
- 59 km 2 800 m positive elevation
- Children's minitrail for ages 5 to 15 with short courses
Several races have participant limits (examples appear in the programme) and some stages use organised shuttles or boat transfers that require prior reservation. Bib pick-up takes place at multiple locations during the event, and an exhibitors' village opens during the weekend.
The routes include steep climbs and marked passages across local features such as the Sénépi area and official crossings of the lake infrastructure, including two Himalayan-style footbridges mentioned in the event communications. Race results, photo galleries and reports from each edition are published after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
