Your next challenge awaits you at the foot of the majestic Vanoise massif! Get ready to climb a landmark culminating at over 2,000 meters above sea level during this Vertical Kilometer organized by the Orelle Tourist Office in collaboration with the Vanoise Cycling Union. Whether running or cycling, an unforgettable experience awaits you!
What you'll find there:
• Two courses offering over 1,100 meters of elevation gain. It's going to be a steep climb!

• The option to return by shuttle for a comfortable end to the day.
Focus on the route:
Hang in there, it's going to be a steep climb!
From the first few meters, you leave the bottom of the Orelle valley to tackle a continuous, relentless climb, heading for the summits. A winding, demanding and wild trail that takes you to the heart of the Vanoise massif, between mountain pastures and dizzying panoramas.
Whether you're in sneakers or on two wheels, you'll swallow up more than 1,100 meters of positive elevation gain on a pure mountain trail, between technical sections, hairpin turns and more rolling passages to get your cardio going again.
And at the summit?
A viewpoint at more than 2,000 meters above sea level, pride in your calves and an XXL breath of fresh air facing the peaks.
3 good reasons to come:
