Advanced/Elite Qualifications:

Riders will access the trail by taking the chairlift “Chamois” and riding down a service road where it meets with the ridge and steepens. The start of the race will take place on the service road with the first meters of the race on the steep and loose gravel road, from where the track will turn left into a singletrack. The course is mostly narrow singletrack with some difficult, rough sections of roots and rocks. There are some flowy sections too, and even some wooden features. There are many frequent obstacles which will require skill to ride the trail quickly. Most of the obstacles on the course are with M2 and M3 grade. The trail features a 2.6 km downhill course with an elevation loss of 498 m.

Elite 2:

The trail starts at the upper station of chairlift “Bouguetins”. With its average M2/M3 difficulty it feels a little like the qualification run. The trail received black markings thanks to the section with big roots followed by very steep dirt part (M4). Overall feeling is that it is a short and fast course with few M4 graded technical problems.
