Transmassif

Transmassif is an endurance and orientation test in stages, with teams of 3 members (2 for the challenges) alternating between mountain bikes, cross country running, competition skiing, either for pleasure or to overcome the challenges offered by the local terrain. The teams must have technical support. The organisation offers grants to team members, intended for those who might otherwise find it difficult to put a team together.
