Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc Classic

Get ready for an adrenaline-packed cycling adventure that will push your limits like never before, as you pedal through some of France's most breathtaking landscapes. Set against the backdrop of Mont-Blanc in Sallanches, Haute-Savoie, this inaugural edition of the Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc Classic is a must for serious cyclists looking to test their mettle on challenging terrain.
This event isn’t just another ride; it’s your chance to experience what it feels like to compete at the highest level. The routes are designed after those used in the upcoming 2027 UCI World Championships, giving you an authentic taste of professional cycling as you navigate through scenic Alpine passes and straight stretches that offer stunning views of Europe's roof.
Choose between two thrilling options: the "Challenge" route covers a demanding 105 km with over 2,500 meters of elevation gain, while the more formidable "Endurance" format spans an impressive 165 km and climbs to a staggering 4,000 meters. Both routes promise steep ascents that will leave you breathless but also reward you with panoramic vistas and unforgettable moments.
With Bernard Hinault as the event’s patron, this race carries the weight of cycling history. Known for his prowess in mountainous terrain, "The Badger" lends credibility to an already prestigious course, ensuring a true test of skill and endurance.
Upon crossing the finish line, join fellow cyclists at the lively race village in Sallanches where you can unwind with friends over local delicacies and recount your day’s achievements. For those who still have energy left, take a leisurely stroll around Passy's lakes to admire the majestic peaks silhouetted against the setting sun—a sight that will leave an indelible mark on your memory.
So lace up your cleats and prepare for a ride of a lifetime in September!
