The toughest week of cycling

Described by Cyclist Magazine as “leg-shredding and life-changing in equal measure”, the flagship event of the Haute Route Cycling Series is a challenge like no other. The course is packed with bucket list climbs made famous by the Tour de France, plus a host of cols over 2,000 metres above sea level. The crown jewel in the Haute Route calendar gives you the rare opportunity to pin on a number and test yourself on many of the world’s most famous climbs as well as long, point-to-point stages. In 2022, the peloton will start in Nice, making its way north through the heart of the Alps to a triumphant finish in Megeve. The new course will also be making stops at host towns the Haute Route has never visited before.
