Preparation and points to check

Differences and information still uncertain

These items are shown explicitly so an approximation is never presented as official data.

  • The officially published GPX is named 2026, while the race page consulted shows the 2027 edition: it is kept as the latest accessible organiser track, without presenting it as a guarantee of the 2027 route.
  • Trailboard’s calculation from this GPX (53.9 km, about 2,410 m D+) differs significantly from the organiser’s figures; the figures shown therefore remain the organiser’s.
