Night ski touring race

Thyon is hosting a recreational ski mountaineering race that will bring together more than a hundred participants, who will ascend the course—with a total elevation gain of 600 meters—using climbing skins. The mass start will take place at 7:00 p.m. at the base of the Masses chairlift (1,500 m).
