Nestling at an altitude of 1,300 metres, the Olympic venue at Le Praz will be hosting one of the most intense events on the international sporting calendar this Sunday 13 July, on the legendary ski jump. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There's no time to warm up: right from the start, it's a brutal climb. The Red Bull 400 is not just another race: it's the equivalent of a 40-storey sprint, in the open air, using your legs alone, on an average gradient of 36 % with peaks of 78. You climb straight up a steep, grassy wall that never seems to end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event is open to solo (men and women) or mixed 4\u00d7100 m relays. Whether you're a trail runner, HIIT practitioner, crossfitter or simply a fan of extreme sensations, this is where your cardio will really be put to the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/where-and-how-to-enjoy-the-2025-tour-de-france-stage-in-courchevel\/\">Where and how to enjoy the Tour de France 2025 stage in Courchevel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Red Bull 400 is much more than just a race: it's a platform for all sportspeople who like to push their limits. It's a test of self-transcendence as much as it is of team spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DKznuhXomKR\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
