The triathlon is held in a long and a short distance variant. Both start with a swimming route in the Lac du Verney reservoir , the bike route ends with a Tour de France ascent of the highest category in the ski resort of Alpe d'Huez with its 21 legendary, 1120-meter bends. This is followed by a running track at an altitude of 1800 to 2000 m.
