If you’re still looking for a reason to sign up to Haute Route Alps 2022, look no further. We’ve compiled our top 5 reasons why the founding event in the Haute Route series is most certainly worth the challenge.

1. This Is No Ordinary Race 

Boasting 806km of the best roads in the Alps, this is an opportunity to test yourself on many of the world’s most famous climbs in long, point-to-point stages.

The journey will begin in the sunny, seaside metropolis of Nice, making its way north over seven incredible days in the saddle. Riders will tick off countless bucket list climbs as they race towards the stunning Megève in this unforgettable race.

2. Experience what it’s like to ride like a pro

We aim to deliver an unparalleled ‘professional’ experience both on and off the bike. Take advantage of the amenities in some of France’s most famous ski resorts.

Off the road, relax between stages with post-ride meals and daily massages. On the road, you can expect the support of professional mechanics and French Gendarme Moto escorts, SAG vehicles and staffed feed stations to ensure not only your safety and wellbeing but also so you can experience what it’s like to ride just like a pro.

3. You Can Experience Elements of the Tour de France

The second stage of the Haute Route Alps is guaranteed to be an all-time great. Riders will have their eyes set on the legendary Col d’Agnel.

Featured in both the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France, this special climb is the third-highest paved road in the Alps.

After descending back into France, the focus will shift to another classic that will not disappoint - Col d’Izoard.
