Reduce your carbon footprint
You still have a month in which to prepare your luggage before coming to participate in The North Face® Ultra-Trail of Mont Blanc®. Don't forget anything, really do not forget anything. Take flippers, an inflatable boat… just in case, three bikes, the games console and of course all your running equipment in triplicate. It is going to take at least one truck to get all this to Chamonix, but no matter … Finally, no, not completely. If thinking about the lightness of your pack during the race can still wait for a while, that of your global lightness begins today. Think minimalist, it is fashionable. Think reduction, of reducing your carbon footprint, come to "Cham" as a chamois, a light step and a clean engine. Here is the presentation of the measures which we have set up to facilitate your task. It works very well every year, take advantage of it!
Come to Chamonix :
Think about Co-pooling :
No, car sharing is not synonymous with constraints and rigidity. Well organized, it can be a friendlier alternative, more economic and less risky than the travelling alone.
With Petzl, we developed a site of intuitive and effective car sharing, click here !!
So you will be able to organise your car sharing easily with other runners of The North Face® Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc®.
