As part of the UTMB®, an ultra-trail event, the Ultra-Trail® Village, is organised each year, bringing together a large number of exhibitors and welcoming tens of thousands of trail running enthusiasts. It takes place at Place du Mont-White, in the heart of Chamonix, throughout the late-August race week. The programme is published each year on the official Ultra-Trail® Village page.
An event dedicated to ultra trail
A few hundred metres from the start of the UTMB® races, the Ultra-Trail® Village brings together key players from the trail running world throughout the week. Everyone can come and explore new products, learn about new techniques, try accessories or clothing. There is also an area dedicated to races around the world, with plenty of activities for children and adults alike, including the Fan Experience at the heart of the village.
Cimalp at the Village
Cimalp is present every year at the Ultra-Trail® Village with its own chalet in the brand's colours. It is an opportunity for runners and their companions to explore our trail and ultra-trail collection, try the technical fabrics and fits, and speak directly with the Cimalp team about choosing their equipment before the race. If you are in Chamonix during UTMB® week, come and visit us at the village.
