Refreshments

For several years now, le Bélier Trail et Rando asks you to bring your own cup! No plastic cups on the event. Water, on the other hand, will be provided free of charge, so don't hesitate!

Refreshments:

No Bélier Trail and Rando without nice local refreshments!

One of our objectives for the event is to focus as much as possible on local produce! That's why we're working with our partners to offer you food grown and produced just a few kilometers from the event venue. We'll introduce you to our local producers just below.

Les Vergers Tissot

The Vergers Tissot adventure began in Copponex over 70 years ago. Since then, they have continued to cultivate their land with passion and commitment, in the tradition of the Savoyard terroir.

Producers of apples and pears, Les Vergers Tissot are proud to offer you exceptional fruits, produced near Annecy in Haute-Savoie.

Healthy, tasty and with exceptional properties, their varieties are cultivated in Eco-responsible Orchards as well as in Organic Agriculture, according to methods that are both modern and respectful of nature and the environment.

You will be able to pick apples from Vergers Tissot at all the feed stations!

Les Fruitières Chabert

From generation to generation, the Chabert family cultivates the taste of the land, the respect of the ancestral know-how and the quest for authenticity. It is with as much passion as patience that the house elaborates cheeses of Savoy and specialities.

You will find good reblochon cheese at the feed stations to refresh you during your race!
