Balnéaman 2026

Balnéaman is a mountain triathlon held in Loudenvielle-Génos, situated by Lac de Génos-Loudenvielle in the Louron valley of the Hautes-Pyrénées. The race covers 111 km: 1 km swimming in the lake, 100 km cycling, and 10 km running. It is part of the Occitanie triathlon schedule and includes options for individual competitors and teams. The race begins at the lake, directing athletes to a lengthy cycling segment over Pyrenean ascents featured in the Tour de France. Following the mountain routes, the run concludes on trails instead of roads. The event's character is straightforward: chilly lake water, demanding climbs, and a concluding off-road run within a high valley landscape.
