ABOUT THE CHALLENGE

Route of the race

Swimming course

The Lac of Coiselet is located in an idyllic place between the town of Oyonnax and the Lac de Vouglans Jura.

Apart from a few swans and ducks, you will be alone and very happy to begin the test in peace to connect with your best inner vibrations.

Bike route

On the 180 km which connect the lake of Coiselet and the city of Saint-Gervais, you will often want to raise your head to enjoy the landscape...

After the tranquility of the Jura, passage to Lake Annecy, then the Col des Aravis, with a view of Mont-Blanc before making the final ascent.
