The route that includes an uphill race in a mountain environment is a race that in addition to the sporting commitment brings in addition the values of rediscovery of the territory and tourist promotion. The route, in fact, crosses the entire territory of the Municipality of Charvensod winding through varied landscapes, from the plain of Pont-Suaz to the pastures of the capital and the high hamlets, to reach the ponteille waterfalls, the Comboé valley and the top of the Becca, from which you can enjoy a breathtaking and priceless view of the central plain of the Valle d'Aosta.
