In a majestic setting, between lake and mountain, each race will allow you to discover the hidden treasures of Passy, facing the highest peak in Europe.

The start of the swim will take place at the Passy Lake facing the mythical Mont-Blanc. For the shorter distances (Discovery and Sprint), participants will be able to taste the joys of the triple effort. These events will be appreciated by beginners and more experienced triathletes. Finally, the Kids 8-11 years old format will start at 9.30 am on Sunday for a 100 m swim, followed by a 2.5 km mountain bike race and a 1 km run before crossing the finish line to the applause of parents: Emotions guaranteed.

Offering long distance formats such as the Olympic, the participants will have to climb 900 m on their bikes before covering the 10 km run around the Passy Lake and crossing the finish line.

The Half format is the expected event of the weekend for mountain lovers. The 72 km bike course will give triathletes the opportunity to cross 5 communes of the Mont-Blanc region, including Passy and Saint-Gervais, in order to challenge each other individually or in relays over 1,800 m of positive altitude difference. On the programme: the ascent of Bettex and the ascent of Plaine-Joux with a breathtaking view on the Mont-Blanc.
