Via Alpina Stage 76: Auberge du Godey - Anzeinde
HARD (3.2/10)From Godet
A demanding mountain route — the Via Alpina Stage 76: Auberge du Godey - Anzeinde packs 23.0 km and 882 m of climbing into a 6h 31min day.
The route breaks into 6 segments. The toughest stretch is the 1.3 km from Tête Pegnat to Tête de Barme, climbing 298 m — an unrelenting 229 m/km grade. In contrast, the 1.3 km from Tête de Barme to Roc de la Vache is much gentler and makes for a welcome recovery section.
With 89% of the route below 15% gradient, strong trail runners can maintain a good rhythm for much of the distance. Some pitches hit 60% gradient, so trekking poles are strongly recommended.
Budget roughly 3,545 kcal of energy expenditure and 3.9 L of water. Aim for 60–90 g of carbs per hour to avoid bonking on the longer climbs. No confirmed water sources along the route — carry all the water you need.
Mountain route. Accessible from May to October. Winter conditions possible on exposed sections.
