New in Valmeinier! A unique duathlon combining trail and ski touring, perfect for sports and thrill-seekers. A sporting challenge... and a charitable one! All profits from the race will be donated to the Savoie Handisport Committee.
What you'll find on site:
• Several race formats: the full solo or duo VRS for the more adventurous, the “only trail” and “only ski” versions - if you can choose. Not us 😌.
• A start with or without a stopwatch, to push your limits or simply for the pleasure of the sport;
• Snow-capped peaks as far as the eye can see and sublime valleys. Paradise, what 🎿.
Course focus:
Do you know the trail and ski combination? It's a bit like bringing together the best of the same world - mountain version. Depart with your trail shoes on your feet from Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne for a first part of a crazy race to Valmeinier Villages (1500m). There, it's the transition to ski touring for the final ascent to the summit of TS Roi (1300m D+) or Gros Crey (1850m D+).
Whether you're a seasoned competitor or an amateur looking for adventure, this challenge is for you!
3 (very) good reasons to participate:
• Well, first of all, the format! It's not every day that you get offered a duathlon like this;
• (Re)Discover Savoie in all its magnificence, feel the thrill of the vastness that lies before you, enjoy a limitless playground;
• A post-race friendly drink 😏.
