The Verbier X-Triathlon is organised by 123cross events, which is based in Switzerland
The imposing mountains of the Val de Bagnes are the perfect backdrop to our third annual international community triathlon event. The disciplines are open-water swimming, mountain biking and trail running.
We have specifically chosen routes out of the way of roads and traffic so you can really appreciate the natural beauty of the Val de Bagnes region. Our courses will take you over dirt-roads, down single tracks through woods and across farmer’s fields. The lake water is filled from a natural source and kept fresh and clean, naturally filtered by sand.
The water temperature in September will vary between 19 and 23 degrees.
Join us once more for some competitive fun, and plenty of activities for everyone!

ABOUT 123CROSS
We are proud to say we run a strict “low waste – leave no trace” policy at all of our events. In our first year we recycled everything we could and ended up with only one bin full of waste, even though 104 racers and 250 visitors stayed with us all day! That’s thanks to the use of recycling cups, wooden plates and cutlery, reusable signposts and of course everyone’s hard work cleaning up after the event. We are proud of this achievement and endeavour to do the same every year.
Natation Entremont, the local swimming club founded in 2015 by Karin Pethebridge, is running the event. The club will use the funds and income for their local project “learn to swim for everyone”, as well as their future project in the Philippines.
The triathlon experience
The village will host lots of shops as well as a café, restaurant, bar (with DJ) and live music.
You can enjoy use of test kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, electric bikes and much more from 11:00 until 18:00.
We follow a healthy food policy and use only local companies that provide fresh nutrition for a reasonable price.
All competitors and volunteers receive a voucher for a free meal.
