No-motor lake = zero waves. Ideal conditions to beat your personal records.
Nature reserve
A protected site of exceptional beauty. A responsible race with minimal environmental impact.
Season finale
The last stage of the ALT 2026 — where the overall standings and the titles are decided.
Limited places
Only 100 participants, to protect the nature reserve. Every place counts.
🏁 Race
🎊 After-race
Long Distance
Full circuit of Lake Aiguebelette. Flat water, pure speed and paddling technique front and centre. The course for racers who want to test themselves on the finest stretch of water in the region.
Short Distance
Half-lake tour to enjoy the beauty of the site. Open to all, with a perfect paddling surface for beginners and experienced alike. Starting at the same time as the long distance, at 10.00 a.m.
Nine buoys mark the course. Green: buoys 1 and 2, plus the left-hand buoy of gate P. Red: the right-hand buoy of the gate and buoys 3 to 7. At gate P the short distance turns left and heads back to Sougey beach, while the long distance carries on to the right towards Aiguebelette harbour. Buoy 7 is moored at the north end of the beach, so you finish along the sand. The finish line runs between a buoy on the water and a banner ashore, in the middle of the beach.
The Very Flat Race took place on 4 October. Thank you to the paddlers, the volunteers and our partners!
The Very Flat Race returns to Lake Aiguebelette in October 2027.
