Trail du Grand Ballon - L'Hivernale
The TGB 20 is the weekend's short course… but certainly not the easiest! With nearly 50 meters of elevation gain per kilometer, the tone is set. And you won't have to wait long before tackling the climb: the route quickly gains height, taking participants up to the Judenhut Pass. At the summit, an aid station will let you recharge before completely changing gears: time for a long descent heading straight for the finish line.
