X-Alpine
The X-Alpine is changing! The organisers are giving new imputs to the race, with a balanced km-gradient ratio.
The start is at 22.00 from Verbier, the first ascent leads you to La Pierre Avoi and then downhill to Sembrancher. From there the route wanders through a number of small mountain villages to Champex, then moves on towards the Cabane d’Orny which marks the highest point of the race (2826m), among the glaciers. The race continues, passing through La Fouly, the Lacs de Fenêtre, the legendary Col du Grand St-Bernard, the Col des Chevaux and the Col de Mille. The run to Panossière in its majestic setting is the most beautiful part of the race. All that remains is to climb the famous 1200m wall before crossing the finish line in Verbier.
