Inscriptions are open now and the closing date is June 20th. If there are places left you can also sign up at the last minute the day before the event (10€ extra per team). You can download your entry form on the website. It should be printed, completed and returned to the following address:

If you don’t fancy taking part then just come along and watch. The télècabine will be open free of charge for the day and there will be activities on the plateau. As well as the kid’s race the main event racers will also pass through, the archery takes place on the plateau and there is the bike/trail transition.
