An easy and accessible course through varied trails
Departure from the hamlet of Aminona located near Crans-Montana. After a short ascent on a paved road to stretch the peloton, you will take an easy trail leading you to the cellar of Scex, famous for its alpine cheeses. From there, you will embark on the bucolic Tsittoret bisse, built in the 15th century. You will follow the bisse along an easy and undulating trail for 5 km, with a liquid refreshment point in the middle at the hamlet of Colombire, known for its alpine museum. 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!
