About Trail du Besso
Le Trail du Besso relie les grands sentiers alpins au-dessus de Zinal dans un format court mais très technique pour son kilométrage. L'organisation met clairement l'accent sur l'autonomie, la haute montagne et la sécurité, avec un règlement précis et une sélection d'inscription plus exigeante que sur un trail classique.
