The race will be approximately 1900m in height gain. The race will be held alongside the French women’s National Team Championships.

There is a course profile of the French National Championships men’s race on the Chamonix Ski Alpinism web site. The GB National Championships will be similar to this course, but will probably miss out the last climb / descent. The actual course profile may be subject to change with little or no notice.

There will be no sub-categories ie – just Open Men and Open Women

 
Showers
There will be showers available after the race at the Centre Sportif Richard Bozen in Chamonix. This is where the post race meal will be held.  (Post race meal will be included in your entry fee).
