Verticale du Criou - The steepest vertical kilometre in the world - Samo\u00ebns<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samo\u00ebns (Haute-Savoie) | Date to be confirmed | 2.059 km | D+ 1000 m<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looking for a short but intense challenge? The Verticale du Criou is one of the steepest vertical kilometres in the world. A direct and relentless route through the heart of the Alps.<\/p>\n

A unique challenge in Samo\u00ebns<\/h3>\n

From the Place du Gros Tilleul, the riders set off towards the summit of Le Criou. It's a dry climb with a positive vertical drop of 1,000 metres in just 2 kilometres. It's an explosive format, reserved for fans of pure effort. Poles permitted.<\/p>\n

Time trial start<\/h3>\n

Start times are every 20 seconds. When registering, each participant indicates his or her estimated time for a coherent placement. Each participant tackles the mountain at his or her own pace, in a spirit of personal challenge.<\/p>\n

An individual race, but not alone<\/h3>\n

All along the route, volunteers and spectators cheer on the riders. Despite its individual format, the climb is a great opportunity for sharing. Around 200 riders take part every year.<\/p>\n

Races for children<\/h3>\n

Suitable formats are available for the very young to discover the spirit of mountain running.<\/p>\n
