Start from Caux

The road between Glion and Caux will be closed to traffic from 8:00 AM until the end of the race.
Participants are invited to take the free shuttles running between 8:00 and 8:45 AM (last departure).

Return train from Rochers-de-Naye

All runners return to Montreux via the cogwheel train.
This ride is included in the registration fee (your race bib serves as your ticket).
