The quarter turn of the lake

A men's start, a women's start on a new course

What! It's not possible to reinvent the 1/4 de tOur? Yes, yes, you'll see...

We'll be offering you a completely new 1/4 tOur du lac, a concept that was tested and approved several years ago, but which we had left dormant.

This year, the tOur du lac will run in the opposite direction to previous editions, i.e. clockwise. This means that the Quart de tOur du lac will also run in the opposite direction. With a start in Le Semnoz and a finish in Annecy, the Quart de tOur will be a "Negative Trail", as the course will be mostly downhill.
