La montée du Funi - Bourg-Saint-Maurice 2027

La Montée du Funi des Arcs challenges runners with an uphill course from Bourg-Saint-Maurice in Savoie to Arc 1600, offering a funicular ride back down. This trail and mountain race operates on a six-hour schedule: participants ascend the marked route repeatedly until time expires. Typically held in late April, the event's concept is straightforward yet demanding: climb, descend via funicular, and climb again. Each loop covers approximately 5.1 km along a marked forest path connecting the valley town to the Les Arcs resort. The race accommodates relay teams, shifting the focus from a continuous trail race to a shared mountain endurance effort. The funicular is integral to the event's structure, facilitating recovery during the descent before the subsequent climb.
