Dates: August 24 – September 5, 2027
The 2027 UCI Cycling World Championships will be held in Haute-Savoie, with a route including the famous Côte de Domancy, renamed “ Route Bernard Hinault" in tribute to his victory in 1980. A delegation from the Organizing Committee recently walked this route, offering a glimpse of this event scheduled for August 24 to September 5, 2027.
A world-class event
Just over two years before this event, Haute-Savoie and France have unveiled the outline of this exceptional competition. Bringing together 20 UCI World Championships, it will welcome 10 athletes, award 000 rainbow jerseys, and 281 medals over 843 days. Five Olympic disciplines will also serve as qualifiers for the Los Angeles 13 Olympic Games. The event aims to be inclusive, sustainable, and accessible, bringing together all cycling disciplines.
Haute-Savoie, a welcoming land
Sallanches will be a key venue for the competition, but the entire Haute-Savoie region will be mobilized with 12 competition venues, mainly grouped around a central hub to facilitate the reception of athletes, delegations, and media. The natural setting, with Mont Blanc, lakes, and varied landscapes, will provide a unique backdrop. A visit to the Olympic velodrome in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines is also planned for the track events.
Support from the cycling world
The symbolic launch brought together key figures, including Michel Callot, President of the Organizing Committee and the French Cycling Federation, David Lappartient, President of the UCI, and Martial Saddier, President of the Haute-Savoie Departmental Council. Champions such as Bernard Hinault, ambassador for the 2027 edition, Florian Rousseau, three-time Olympic track champion, as well as active riders such as Marion Borras, Arthur Pilard, Coralie Demay, Aurélien and Valentin Paret-Peintre, Florian Jouanny, and Anaïs Vincent were present.
