Franco Collé
He is an athlete with an edge, able to immerse himself in a meditative dimension that leads him to be present and lucid while running, and to remember every landscape, every sunrise. And like any champion he has his secret rituals and a vision of reality that guides him, and inspires those who follow him on his adventures.
Franco Collé was born in Valle d’Aosta, at the foot of Monte Rosa, where he lives and works.
A mountain lover since childhood, he began his sports career with ski mountaineering, later becoming a master of this discipline.
He approached the trail world in 2012 when his sister unbeknownst to him entered him in the Tor des Géants, finishing fifth overall and best Italian; after only two years in the trail world came his first major victory, at the 2014 Tor des Géants, followed by many other victories and successes.
