The Prarion gondola takes you up to 1800 meters, making this the perfect run for a hot day. The route circles around Tête de la Charme on smooth, well-marked trails. At this altitude, you get clear views of the Mont-Blanc massif and surrounding mountain ranges. The route finishes with a steep climb up to the top of Prarion, where you’ll be rewarded by a 360-degree panorama.

Bonus KMs and Bailouts

The bonus kilometers offer big rewards, so try to include them if you have time!

Note that not every run has a bailout. But if a run does, we've included the download below.
