Triathalon

Bourg St Maurice is one of the very few mountain resorts in France with a 50m pool making it ideal for triathletes. Add to that a great running track all the way to Aime halfway along which there is a swimming lake. Not forgetting a track in the woods complete with a free outdoor gym.

Italy is just over the Col de Petit St.Bernard so a daytrip over for lunch is a must!

Cyclo-Sportives

Cyclo-Sportives are timed competitions. They are very popular across France during the summer season and there are usually a few in Bourg over the season ask for more details.
