The Valmeinier Run and Ski is a late-March mountain duathlon in Savoie, centered on trail running and ski touring, not a standard road race. The full combined race begins in Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne; participants can enter solo or as a duo. Separate trail-only and ski-only options are available, along with a choice between a timed result or an untimed participation.
The course utilizes Valmeinier’s alpine terrain, with snowy peaks and valleys providing the setting typically offered by city crowds and landmarks. The event is part of a resort calendar managed by the Valmeinier Tourist Office, featuring volunteer-organized mountain sports throughout the season. Its established tradition involves charity: all race profits benefit the Handisport Committee of Savoie.
