The return of the White Lady
entertainment for carnival

This character originated from a legend. In the village of Breuil, in Valtournenche, when there were only huts for pastures, lived a beautiful girl of extraordinary beauty. The giant Gargantua, who knew these valleys, returning from Zermatt, saw her, he fell in love and carried her off. He decided to hide her the mountains. All the inhabitants of the valley, aware, came together to look for the girl. In front of such insistence giant surrendered. He loaded the girl on the sledge to return her to its people who organized a big party attended by all the inhabitants of the Valley.

The Glaciers Marathon, from Breuil-Cervinia to Gressoney-La-Trinité, was born as a legendary challenge of man against nature. Over time, it has become a legendary competition open to those who are intimately familiar with the mountains and ski mountaineering.
