Wild NextGen
Wild NextGen: a brand new race format for young people aged 10 to 17! The race of the New Generation! A 10 km course with a dedicated start.
An easy and accessible course through varied trails
Departure from the hamlet of Aminona located near Crans-Montana. After a short climb on a tarmac road to stretch the peloton, you'll climb up an easy path to the hamlet of Colombire, famous for its mountain pasture museum. Refreshment point. From here, you'll head for the bucolic Tsittoret bisse, built in the 15th century. You'll follow the bisse along an easy, undulating path followed by a rather playful descent. Then, you will arrive at the gates of Crans-Montana via Marolires and Vermala. Take a look to your right at the iconic finish line of the alpine skiing World Cup downhill. You're almost there, just 2 km more on a rolling and descending profile to reach Crans-Montana, with one last short climb to Arnouva. For the final stretch, you will go around Lake Grenon and pass by Ycoor pond. Then, the finish line in the heart of Crans-Montana. Guaranteed atmosphere.
A beautiful course to have fun!
