histoire
Plus ancienne des courses d’Europe
The Trail des Dents du Midi is indeed the oldest mountain race in Europe. It is a race that was created by local people under the aegis of the development society of Vérossaz and Fernand Jordan of the Daviaz ski club.
The test race took place in 1963 and the first official race in 1964, on August 29 and 30…

A somewhat special edition
All year long we have informed you through our Facebook page about the maintenance of the race and we are happy to have been able to keep our word. Nevertheless, in order for this event to take place under the best circumstances, some adaptations had to be introduced. Here are the most important points, but please read carefully the Roadbook (currently version 2020) which explains everything in detail!
- Mandatory helmets on the shuttles and at the start until the starting gun is fired at the race.
- No physical awards ceremony on site. A podium will be held online.
- No “Village Square” at the finish. Finish reserved for runners. Animations spread out on the street.
- Animation, catering: In addition to the Canteen of the runners located as usual, under the church each runner will receive a drink offered on presentation of his bib at the restaurant designated to accommodate him. The signs “Plan de la Rue du Trail” will indicate which runner can go where. This is to avoid large crowds while keeping a friendly and festive atmosphere.
- Refreshments not in “Self-Service”. Each runner will ask what he wants to be served.
- No Gear Control – No mandatory gear, but still highly recommended.
- No changing showers or massages available this year.
Thank you for playing the game and respecting the instructions, in your interest and in that of your fellow man, without forgetting the committee that gives its all to organize a beautiful event for you despite the particular situation. This one would also like not to have to be slapped on the fingers by the OFSP if the indications were not to be respected…
Thanks to your participation this day will remain as nice as it has been in the past.
There are 2 starts for the DDM|57 individual races and the relay, and you want to know the choice of the start time: It is free. The time is simply triggered by the runner when he/she crosses the start line thanks to our timing partner MSO. On the other hand, be careful, the time barriers are the same for all runners, that is to say 13h30 in Vérossaz and 16h30 in Salanfe. Adapt your choice of departure according to the time you think you will take.
In other words: The checkpoint in Vérossaz only opens at 9am. Runners who expect to reach Vérossaz from Champéry in less than 3 hours should start at 9am.
