The Grand Serre in patois means "the highest peak" and it is all up there that you will have to go, after the effort and yourself, to clinch your FINISHER medal. 8 swimming sections (6.30km), including an incredible length of 2,500m from Lac de Laffrey, 9 sections of running (22.5km), then this Vertical Kilometer of Grand Serre for an epic finale that you will not find anywhere else.
