SKI MOUNTAINEERING. his morning, the teams started in a beautiful layer of fresh snow for a stage of 2700m of positive elevation. The runners started by crossing, as every year, the village of Arêches-Beaufort on foot : a race of one kilometer acclaimed by all the spectators who had released banners and bells to encourage runners !
Wind and white day accompanied the runners throughout the stage, making the race even more "tricky". A very technical and challenging stage, with many manipulations "dépeautage" : it is also one of the longest stages of the history of the Pierra Menta... The winners, Yoann Sert (France) and Filippo Beccari (Italy) took more than 3h30 to finish the race !
