Gravel

A mix of roads, paths and trails. Coming from the United States, the discipline of gravel riding is in full expansion in Europe with practitioners seeking more of an escape and communion with nature while sticking to physically accessible routes.

NB: Mountain bikes are allowed as well as e-bikes (in hiking mode, without ranking).

By adding a Gravel event to its program in 2020, the organization has anticipated what is now a national trend for cyclosportive events. For this new edition, the Organizing Committee is maintaining its "ultra" approach, with 115km on the program (compared with 55km in recent years), and no time trials. Much to the delight of purists. A more accessible route with much less steep slopes, in the Vallée d'Abondance, Bas Chablais and Plateau de Gavot. This will further broaden the public and give new impetus to enthusiasts in search of sharing and communion with nature.
