The course is deliberately not circulated in advance, to ensure everyone's safety. It will be shared with registrants only when they collect their numbers.

The route takes in the ski slopes, where ski touring is forbidden day and night, whether the slopes are open or closed. A specific authorization is granted by the town hall for the day of the event only. This means that it is not possible to train on the route before the event.

We're counting on your understanding and respect for these rules: they ensure your safety (from collisions with other skiers, winch-operated groomers and several hundred meters of rope) and the event's longevity.
