ABOUT THE CHALLENGE

Route of the race

Swimming course

The Lac de Coiselet is located in an idyllic spot between the town of Oyonnax and the Lac de Vouglans Jura.

Apart from a few swans and ducks, you will be alone and very happy to begin the test in peace to connect with your best inner vibrations.

 

Bike route

On the 180 km that connect Lake Coiselet and the city of Saint-Gervais, you will often want to raise your head to enjoy the landscape...

After the tranquility of the Jura, passage to Lake Annecy, then the Col des Aravis, with a view of Mont Blanc before making the final ascent.

 

Alpine running course

Departing from Saint-Gervais, you will head to the Nid d'Aigle refuge in hiking gear to meet your guide.

After a well-deserved break, your guide will give you the green light to gear up and start the final ascent to the top of Europe in the most traditional style:

the famous "One shot" Mont Blanc via the normal route.
