I am after recommendations for a 100 mile ultra in Europe to aim for in 2017. Obviously know about UTMB but are there others people would recommend - criteria is off road and in the mountains!

Just shy of a 100 miles (144km) is the Échapée Belle near Grenoble - http://www.lechappeebelledonne.com/

Also around Grenoble is the UT4M which is just over 100 miles - http://ut4m.fr/en/

I've not done either of them but they're both on my list - I've two 86km races planned this year, will step up to 100 miler next year (that's the plan although out with calf injury at the moment).

Like the look of the Grand Raid

Reckon it will be UTMB and if I don't get in then Grand Raid

It was basically a low key version of the UTMB but that was a few years ago. Nicky Spinks used to do it quite a lot, she's won it a few times I think.
