29 Pierra Menta: the great course

The Pierra Menta is a great classic of modern origin, with formula in teams of two.

The first edition dates back to 1985: a stage race in which teams add their own pace. A veritable marathon of mounts with 10,000 feet of elevation gain for four days of consecutive race in the town of Arèches Beaufort (Savoie, France). The eligible categories are the senior male and female, and mixed couples fall into the senior male category. The real highlight of the event falls today, the third day. In truth again this year'', as in 2013, did not reach the top of the Grand Mont'' but only the smaller peak 2606 meters this is because, waiting for a snowfall, we must also think about the safety of 5000 Viewers already on the march along the way. After two days of competition are 376 competitors still in the race, started at 7:00 this morning under a cloudy sky, with mild temperatures once again to all units. Today, however, remains the crucial day for the final of this year's Pierra Menta 2014 and the teams head knows it very well. In today's day challenge even the young categories for the first two stages in the Pierra Menta Jeunes. For their shortest paths, but always in style Pierra Menta.
