Vertical kilometer in France
The vertical kilometer (or VK) is a very specific trail format. Distance-wise, we're talking about 5 km. And as its name suggests, you'll be moving vertically. 1,000 meters of elevation gain are waiting for you! A small piece of cake or a major struggle? You'll tell us once you arrive. For this type of trail, head to the mountainous lands of France that offer the right terrain.
