L'Échappée Belle offers 3 exceptional routes, linking Isère and Savoie, through the Belledonne massif:

+ Skyrace du Rocher Blanc: 21 km and 2,000 m D+ from Fond-de-France (Haut-Bréda)

Registration opens in January on the event website! For the Échappée Belle Intégrale solo and duo, the Traversée Nord and the Parcours des crêtes, the results of the draw will be announced in early February. Skyrace registration by application.
