The Triathlon des Neiges de Montgenèvre begins in Montgenèvre, a French Alpine village situated directly on the Italian border, with Briançon located just over seven kilometres distant. This event is a winter multisport series, organized by TEAM TRIATHLON BRIANCON, focusing on snow triathlon and snow duathlon disciplines instead of a conventional road triathlon.
The schedule features solo and relay snow triathlon events, available in S and M distances, with the M race designated within the raid category. The duathlon competitions substitute the triathlon's swim leg with trail running followed by skiing; one format involves ski mountaineering, while the other uses cross-country skiing. Briançon serves as the closest train station, approximately eight kilometres from Montgenèvre, providing the most convenient arrival point for the majority of participants.
