Meeting at 8.00 a.m. for an 8.30 a.m. start.
* Route details :
Departure from La Giettaz - Flumet – Megève – Amerands – Col de Joux Plaine – Passy – Côte de Domancy – Megève – Flumet- La Giettaz : 86km/1920m+l de La Colombière - Grand Bornand - St Jean de Sixt - La Clusaz - Col des Aravis - La Giettaz: 93km/2180m+.
* Difficult sections:
The only difficult section will be the Plaine Joux pass.
The climb starts in Passy Chef-Lieu (560 m) and reaches Plaine Joux (1,360 m) after 14 km of effort, with an elevation gain of around 800 m and an average gradient of 5.7%.
The first 5 kilometres wind through the hamlets of Bay and Passy on a narrow but fast road, with regular gradients of around 6 to 7%. From the hamlet of Servoz, the slope becomes steeper, varying between 8 and 9% over several hundred metres.
The central section, through the forest, is the most demanding: tight bends, hairpin turns and sustained sections where the gradient occasionally exceeds 10%. The road surface is sometimes rough, which adds to the difficulty.
The last few kilometres offer a gradual respite and open up onto mountain pastures before reaching the Plaine Joux viewpoint at 1,360 metres, where the view of the Mont Blanc massif is breathtaking.
The organisers reserve the right to modify the route according to weather conditions and other unforeseen circumstances.
All participants must provide proof that they are fit to practise cycling.
Each participant must have a medical certificate that proves their ability to cycle that dates from 2026 or no longer than one year ago.
No registration will be taken into account if the file is incomplete.
