Details of the route :
Departure from La Giettaz – Flumet – Crest-Voland – Les Saisies – Hauteluce– Col du Joly – Hauteluce – Les Saisies- Notre Dame de Bellcombe – Flumet - La Giettaz : 90km/2615m+
* Difficult sections:
3 difficulties:
- From Flumet, the Col des Saisies
14.6 km long, it is fairly steady with a gradient often between 6 and 7%, but with a steeper section at 8% for 1.350 km. The last few kilometres will be easier to negotiate
- After this warm-up, the Col du Joly. From Hauteluce, the climb covers approximately 22 km with an elevation gain of 1,400 m. The first few kilometres are relatively gentle (4-5%), allowing you to warm up in the valley and through the hamlets.
Halfway through, the slope gradually steepens, alternating between 7 and 8% over several kilometres, with occasional steeper sections reaching 10%.
The last few kilometres sometimes reach up to 9%, before reaching the summit at 1,986 m.
-From Hauteluce, the climb to the Col des Saisies is about 7 km long with an elevation gain of 500 m. The first few kilometres are gradual (4-5%), allowing you to find your rhythm as you pass through hamlets and forests.
The central section becomes more sustained, with gradients ranging from 6 to 7%, punctuated by sections of 8% in the hairpin bends.
The return to La Giettaz is a mere formality.
The organisation reserves the right to modify the routes according to the weather conditions and other unforeseen events.
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.
