A cyclosportive starting in La Toussuire with 3 formats on offer: 53km, 87km and 127km with legendary passes.
53 km route – 1,500 m elevation gain:
This route takes you up one of the Maurienne region’s most iconic climbs: the Lacets de Montvernier!
The tight hairpin bends, stacked one on top of the other and clinging to the mountainside, make up one of the most spectacular roads in Savoie, and a truly enjoyable challenge for competitive cyclists.
With almost 300m of elevation gain to tackle over just over 3km, the 18 hairpin bends should not be underestimated, and you’ll need to save your energy on the pedals to power up to the little village of Montvernier.
Once you’ve descended back into the valley via La Tour-en-Maurienne, head towards St Jean de Maurienne and the Rond-Point Opinel, the starting point of the famous Montée de la Toussuire!
87km route – 2,500m elevation gain:
This route takes you up one of the legendary climbs of the Maurienne region, the Lacets de Montvernier. After a mandatory neutralised start from La Toussuire behind the lead car, you will pass through St Jean de Maurienne before heading towards the Lacets de Montvernier.

Once at the summit, a lovely descent awaits you back down to St Jean de Maurienne, before climbing the Col de la Confrérie and its famous 52 hairpin bends. Once in Albiez Montrond, make the most of the refreshment stop in the village, below the Col du Mollard, to recharge your batteries and admire the view of the Aiguilles d’Arves.
The return to La Toussuire will take you via Villarembert and Le Corbier – enough to remind you of the glory days of French cycling!
127km route – 3,500m elevation gain:
This route takes you up some of the most beautiful mountain passes in the Maurienne region: the Lacets de Montvernier, the Col de la Confrérie, the Col du Mollard, the Col de la Croix de Fer, the Col du Glandon and the Montée de la Toussuire!
A packed programme for this route worthy of the greatest, plunging you into the heart of summer with legendary climbs that have shaped the history of French cycling!
We start with the Lacets de Montvernier before moving on to the Col de la Confrérie and its 52 hairpin bends hidden by the forest. Once you arrive in Albiez Montrond, the Col du Mollard and its twisty descent are waiting for you. Make the most of the refreshment stop in Albiez, then use the descent to regain some energy before tackling the famous Col de la Croix de Fer. Once at the summit, the clock stops so you can safely descend into the valley via the Col du Glandon. The clock starts again at Saint-Etienne du Cuines, and you’ll make your final push up the Montée de la Toussuire via Villarembert from the Opinel roundabout.
