Une étape au cœur des Alpes

Samoëns becomes the official base camp of Peakrace.
For four days, the resort hosts athletes, the organization, partners and the public, bringing the race to life at the heart of the territory.

The base camp is the central hub of the event: athlete check-in, briefings, race finishes, recovery time and moments of exchange.
eakrace is not only about racing — it is also about sharing experiences beyond the clock.
