The first two races take the riders to some of the most iconic locations in world cycling. The incomparable atmosphere of the Haute Route, as well as the level of service and support worthy of professional races, guarantee that these events will be unlike any other.
The High Route Alpe d'Huez: the legendary climb revisited
This true cycling mecca is used to welcoming cyclists from all over the world, but it is in the Haute way Route that they will be able to (re)discover the Alpe d'Huez and its famous 21 hairpin bends. The race was no longer included in the Haute calendar Route since 2019. In a route steeped in the history of cycling, the legendary climbs and passes of the surrounding area will be on the program, with two classic stages, plus a time trial on the legendary climb from Bourg-d'Oisans to Alpe d'Huez. The 300 riders, aged 26 to 69, will be encouraged and supported by the Haute team Route to help them surpass themselves like never before: safety cars and motorcycles, mechanical assistance before, during and after the race, hot meals and massages after each stage.
