• Description: In an effort over less than 40 km, you will discover a broad range of landscapes and swim, ride and run through the entire gamut of human emotions.
  
  On the menu: the pure waters of the Lac du Verney, located at an altitude of 700 m and where the swimming event takes place, followed by the summit of the Alpe d'Huez, at more than 1800 m. There is something here to match every appetite.
  The climb of the 21 legendary bends to Alpe d'Huez will be the main course of this Triathlon. It is for these bends that people come to ride the Alpe d'Huez, and you won't be disappointed. Once the climb is over and digested, there's just a 7.3 km loop to be run on the territory of the resort, a worthy dessert to finish a bellyful of sport. But, as here we are at an altitude of 2000 m, you'll still have to hang in there to get to the end of this Triathlon whose beauty will literally… take your breath away! A Short Distance event you'll think of for a long time…
