KM Vertical: 1000 meters of sensations
Mont-Blanc Vertical KM
Come and measure yourself against the 1000m vertical elevation gain of the Chamonix Kilomètre Vertical!
This 3.8km race with 1000m of elevation gain takes place in a time trial format. Be careful, this is an alpine race: the end of the course is an aerial via ferrata (not recommended for people with a fear of heights): steps, cables, pedals, handrails... with a finish at 2000m. Poles are forbidden due to the technical nature of the finish.
A time record bonus will be awarded to the 1st man and 1st woman of the KM Vertical.
