The route of the Vertical event is very special as it runs entirely along a ski slope, which allows each participant to exert themselves 100% throughout the climb. This fact makes it a very attractive race for both competitors and spectators.

The course of the Vertical race is the same for all categories.

The start of the race is located at 2020 m, at the base of the resort and the finish is at Coll de Roies at 2520 m.
