Triathlon des Neiges de Montgenevre

Hold on to your poles, you're about to race through a postcard. The Montgenèvre Snow Triathlon courses take you straight to the magnificent scenery of the Hautes-Alpes 🗻.

What you'll find there:

• Duathlon S and M, triathlon S and M, trail in disguise, all solo or in relays. You're spoiled for choice when it comes to frolicking in the crisp snow;
• Up to 2,000m of elevation gain that will burn your thighs;
• Breathtaking scenery, snow and pine trees as far as the eye can see;
• Refreshments that will delight you: water, coke, chips, biscuits and Gruyère cheese... hey, you need calories to resist the cold!

Course focus:

Head to Montgenèvre in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region for an event that breaks the rules of triathlon. At the Snow Triathlon, you can forget the trisuit: here, the only water you'll encounter will be frozen. On the triathlon side, you start with a white trail in the snow, continue with cross-country skiing and finish with ski touring.

For the duathlon format, you start on foot before swapping your crampons for touring or cross-country skis, your choice. Oh yes, all this at an altitude of over 1,800 m, with courses totaling up to 2,000 m of elevation gain. Yolalahihouuu.

Between powdery ridges, frosty forests and breathtaking panoramas - literally, this event isn't just a race, it's an encounter with the mountains, a grand spectacle. Beautiful, brutal, and totally crazy.

3 (super) reasons to participate:

• A triathlon without swimming or cycling but with two versions of skiing, it's not every day!
• Try to spot a Yeti (and no, your bearded friend covered in snow doesn't count);
• Push your limits in an exceptional setting and hyper-challenging conditions 🥶.
