2021 Haute Route Partner Lineup

As part of our promise to you, we said we’d deliver an unparalleled level of support and service. For us, this means on your bike, off your bike, before, after and during each and every Haute Route event. From year-round training platforms, exclusive deals through the Haute Route Nation, specially-designed kit, nutrition tips, and even a post-ride beer, we’ve brought together a group of industry leaders that will have your back from that first frosty morning ride, all the way to the Haute Route finish line.

COLNAGO

Just like the Haute Route, Colnago has forged a reputation for providing the ultimate tools for riders on the most demanding roads in the world. On and off events, this collaboration will level up the support provided to riders on their cycling journey and towards the Colnago Haute Route Series.

Ernesto Colnago founded a company in order to create the best bikes in the world and to build dreams for the riders. Today we carry his wisdom to create superior experiences. Our relationship with Haute Route allows us to help passionate amateur cyclists take part in the absolute pinnacle cycling experience. At Colnago we strive to create nothing but the best bikes and experiences and we are proud to bring this dedication to riders of the Haute Route series.

ZWIFT

Our partnership with Zwift has been a real game-changer. Teaming up with Zwift for our first virtual event in 2020 was a huge hit, with tens of thousands of riders joining us from all over the world and we can’t wait to do it all again later this month for the second Haute Route Watopia. Our ongoing workouts and training series have also given Haute Route riders a great year-round training platform and helped us keep our promise to support riders 365 days a year.

I’m thrilled that can once again bring the challenge of Haute Route to our global Zwift community. Haute Route events take on some of the most scenic and iconic roads in cycling, and Haute Route Watopia promises to be no different - these are the finest and most demanding routes in Watopia. This will be a challenge so prepare well and enjoy!

Eric Min - Zwift CEO and Co-Founder
