The route is the "path of factor" which starts from Bourg d'Oisans to the village of Villard-Reymond:

Path of "Challenge of the factor" 4.5km and 1000D +

Previously, the factor taking this path every day to bring the mail to residents of the hamlet. A sacred traileur this factor!

The race takes place in two days, we have the opportunity to test the ground ... downhill! We also think the buoy (FFRP and tourist office in Bourg d'Oisans).

The first kilometers in the morning are so strong in this very technical trail:

The path factor ... dizzy!

-

He must know where to put the foot because the ground is slippery. For cons, the weather is mild this morning, leaving us to enjoy the view!

Pierre-Yves has enjoyed the trail

Superb course which should cut the two legs! The first win in under 50 minutes! Wow is the time we will go to (quietly of course but still!)

Guys, the race is the other way!

-

Once down, we will resume jogging for 10km of flat to go to the foot of Lake Danchère Lauvitel, the first climb of the day marathon!

Nothing to say about this passage is that aside in the shade and it allows us to polish up the pace to digest and breakfast!

We arrive at an intersection just before the Danchère to start the climb. Everyone will do it at their own pace and as I appreciate the climbs I am pleased and a good sweat!

Course Lake Lauvitel

-

A great avalanche ... oops!

-

The arrival on the lake is magnificent Lauvitel behind a hill of rock where the cabin of the saddle, lies a beautiful lake, the largest park of Ecrins:

It's just beautiful! Obviously we decide to have lunch on the beach of the lake. Hikers are already at the place and some people living around the lake:

Many curious marmots are squatting on the beach!

-

After thoroughly enjoying our friends the groundhogs, we descend towards Venosc. The descent of the stones will be brittle due to the feet of Christopher who abdicate back to Danchère and take a taxi to the cottage this evening ...

So we are running 5 now back on the flat for 5 or 6 km.

At the foot of Venosc we find ourselves face to face with mountain bikers in the world of mountain biking!

We incrustons on a stand to take a bottle of Powerade all goes well we reinvigorate before climbing towards the 2 Alpes!

For the last climb of the day, I decided to tease a little and I give JM a good pace during the first 300 meters of altitude ... the guy does not let go and eventually I let it go to finish ahead because I have potato!

That said I'm in good shape because I have amazing feathers left on Thursday ... told me a lie? Without the knowledge of my own free will?

In any case the infusions and the engine in the shoes make me of the effect, I would end by pounding the trapper!

The Freshman

We arrive at the resort of Les 2 Alpes chock full of two toothed wheels ...

Pierre-Yves has cheated, the veteran took the eggs! The rascal, it is now cost as we are 4 cooked! Here is another form of doping that I had never tried: euhj:

The return of Mizoram will be the shortest no-frills, we cut to shorten the course of 5km. What we are free! No map, no bib, no ... it's FREE TRAIL ravito

We return to Mont de Lans with a ski slope (watch the bikes!) And then we dive on the Chambon dam Mizoën to get back on where I take my revenge on JM, not even he will not play the game and let me go o)

The cottage of Anne and Pascal is nice, we share two chambers this evening to get to bed early because the Plateau Emparis we expect tomorrow!
