* Challenging sections:
2 difficulties:
- Col de Leschaux via Saint-Jorioz (scenic route)
A steady and pleasant climb from Saint-Jorioz (approx. 11 km with a 700 m elevation gain). The gradient varies between 5 and 7%, with a few steeper sections. The road, which is not very busy, winds through lush green surroundings and offers superb views of Lake Annecy and Les Bauges. Perfect for warming up before the big passes, with a generally good surface and a profile without any pitfalls.
- Col de la Forclaz via Talloires
A real test for your calves: 8.5 km with an elevation gain of around 700 m, giving an average gradient of 8%. The first few kilometres through Talloires are already demanding, then the slope gets much steeper after Verel (10–11% gradients). The reward: an exceptional view of Lake Annecy from the summit, often ranked among the most beautiful views in the Alps.
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.
