Le Corbier has appointed me as the ambassador for the resort and its bike park for the Mountain of Hell 2025. I thank them for their support and assistance in preparing for the race.
Located at an altitude of 1550 meters in the Maurienne Valley in Savoie, the ski resort of Le Corbier is one of the six resorts comprising the 4th largest French ski area. With 310 km of slopes and an exceptional panorama of the Aiguilles d'Arves (3,510 m), Pic de l'Étendard (3,464 m), and even Mont Blanc, it provides a magnificent playground for both young and old!
However, it is primarily a family-friendly resort, 100% ski-in, ski-out, and pedestrian-friendly! The snow front and car traffic are completely separated here. Your dear children can therefore have fun at the bottom of the slopes in complete safety. Le Corbier also offers a multitude of entertainment and activities for the whole family, leaving no room for boredom! It is with these advantages and constant attention to children and families that Le Corbier was awarded the Famille Plus Montagne label in 2006. The focus on safety for children, pedestrians, and skiers was at the heart of the architectural project of Le Corbier. Designed in 1967, following the model of so-called "3rd generation" resorts, it now offers more than 12,000 beds distributed among rental agencies, tourist residences, and private individuals. Its buildings, covered in wood and named Baïkonour, Cosmos, or Soyouz-Vanguard, in reference to space exploration, house a covered gallery where you can find the resort's shops.
And yes, you can go grocery shopping, buy a stamp, rent a pair of skis, or dine out without needing to step outside! It also has charming traditional chalets for those who want a more authentic stay. The snow front brings together entertainment, the Tourist Office, the ESF (French Ski School), the Post Office, and even the doctor's office—a true lively center of the resort. One cannot speak of Le Corbier without mentioning the Sybelles ski area.

I thank Owlaps for their assistance in preparing for the race. Owlaps has become my first sponsor, and I'll proudly display their sticker on my handlebars throughout the year 2025. They believe in my determination and courage to represent endurance enthusiasts and have joined me in raising awareness about type 1 diabetes among the general public.
Owlaps grants me access to their entire website and over 600 GoPro runs across the largest trails, helping me better prepare for the MOH with the insightful advice of Damien Desbrosses, Maxime Ciriego, or Vincent Piccolomo, along with delightful goodies.
Wait... what's Owlaps? It's a web application created in 2017, allowing riders to discover and map out mountain bike trails through videos filmed with onboard cameras. The platform currently boasts over 685 videos, mainly focused on enduro, downhill, and bike parks.
Each video listed on Owlaps showcases the trails in their entirety, allowing all users to preview what lies behind each GPS track and form their own opinion. No more unpleasant surprises after two hours of driving or pedaling!
Tailored for riders of all levels, Owlaps represents the next generation of mountain biking topo-guides. The application enables users to virtually navigate along trails, somewhat like the Google Street View of mountain biking trails.
Gone are the days when following a topo or blindly tracking a GPS trail would lead to a track that didn't suit our preferences. The application allows you to explore where you haven't been yet, enabling you to visit only the places that match your skill level and terrain preferences! Maximize your riding time and spend more time on trails that get your adrenaline pumping!
Thank you, Owlaps!
