New for 2025: Monoface, a straight climb to the Grande Rochette.
MONOFACE:
A "leisure" version of the Triface, consisting of a straight climb up following the route of circuit no. 1 and finishing at the Grande Rochette. You can admire the incredible view whilst enjoying post-race refreshments until 8.15pm.
TRIFACE is a ski touring race with a special "stop or keep going" format, with a series of 3 successive circuits that climb to 3 renowned mountain peaks around Plagne Centre: Grande Rochette, Verdons and Becoin.
If you are tired at the end of the 1st circuit, it's not a problem. You can stop for a hot drink at the Plagne Centre base camp and still be ranked! The most determined competitors can try to complete all 3 circuits and be among the finishers! Time limits must be respected.
A race for amateurs as well as serious athletes, thanks to the different options: timed/ranked (competition format) or timed/unranked (leisure format).
If you prefer an original team experience, you can opt to do the race as a relay team of 3 (each doing one circuit), in mixed or single-sex teams, cheer on your team-mates and head for the podium!
Supporters can come and cheer on their favourites while enjoying a vibrantly-coloured sunset.
Firefighters can register as a separate group.
Since the event is organized in close collaboration with the Amicale des Sapeurs-Pompiers de La Plagne, firemen can register for the "Challenge Pompiers", competing over the same course but ranked separately with the other firefighters taking part.
