What is the AlpsMan?

The AlpsMan was the brainchild of Ludovic Valentin, an avid triathlete, who one day watched a report on the Norseman and realized that here in the Alps, in the heart of the Bauges and on the shores of Lake Annecy, the playing field was perfect for an event of this dimension.

The dream took shape 2 years later. In 2016, the first edition of the AlpsMan was held , a competition on the way to becoming France's finest mountain triathlon, with specific features that have forged its reputation!

👉 The AlpsMan association, governed by the French law of 1901, has as its main mission the organization of a unique and demanding sporting event: the AlpsMan. Created by sports and mountain enthusiasts, the association aims to offer athletes a challenge worthy of the grandiose landscapes of the Alps. Each year, the event attracts participants from all over the world, eager to push their limits in an exceptional natural setting.

👉 The AlpsMan relies on an exceptional team of volunteers, without whom this event could not exist. These volunteers, motivated by a shared passion for sport and local involvement, provide indispensable support for each edition. Their dedication ensures the logistics, safety and warm atmosphere that characterize the event.

👉 In addition, the AlpsMan is overseen by a steering committee comprising seven key local players. These committee members are important figures in the region, representing different sectors such as sport, tourism, and local development. Together, they ensure that the event is in harmony with the natural environment, that it contributes to the revitalization of the region, and that it highlights the cultural and tourist riches of the Alps.

The history of the AlpsMan is that of a human and sporting adventure that continues to grow, while remaining true to its values of respect for the environment, solidarity and surpassing oneself. Since its inception, the event has established itself as a must for triathletes seeking thrills and authentic challenges in breathtaking scenery.
