AN AMBITIOUS TRANSPORT POLICY FOR AN ECO-RESPONSIBLE EVENT

In an effort to encourage a shift away from individual vehicle use, the UTMB® Mont-Blanc has put in place an extensive public transport system in collaboration with transportation companies in France (Transdev), Italy (ATR) and Switzerland (TMR). The visiting public will now have easy access to the existing network of public transportation, supplemented by special UTMB®BUS lines. This unique network is available for use by runners, accompanying guests and also for the general public who wish to follow the race all around MontBlanc in France, Italy and Switzerland.

TRANSPORTS FOR RUNNERS

This system enables the runners to be transported to the start of the 4 races in Italy and Switzerland, namely the MCC, the TDS®, the OCC and the CCC®. The organisation offer a solution for all runners who wish to get to the start of their race without using a personal vehicle. This system operates throughout the valley, from Servoz to Vallorcine, and stops at all public stops to pick up runners and take them to the start of their race, in this way they massively reduce the use of personal vehicles.

TRANSPORT NETWORK

The UTMB® Mont-Blanc organisation team, in collaboration with the three cross-border operators (Transdev, ATR, TMR), has set up an exceptional service for following the race open to all supporters in order to get to all the points where the runners pass around Mont Blanc. This transport (UTMB®BUS) operates according to each race and allows people to arrive in time at each aid station point in order to follow their runner or simply to enjoy the atmosphere of the race as the runners pass through. The organisation is also working with the Communauté de communes de la vallée de Chamonix-MontBlanc to promote the use of the existing public transport network.

The UTMB® is communicating on the free access to the network for all those who have a guest card and this year is renewing the introduction of a special Chamonix Valley transport coupon for all supporters.
