Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc Classic 2026

The Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc Classic is your cyclosportive meet-up in Sallanches, at the foot of the Mont-Blanc massif, where the mountains will quickly remind you who’s calling the shots 🏔️.

You come to ride, sure, but above all to experience a real mountain day: roads that smell of pine, panoramas that take your breath away (in a good way), and that “club” atmosphere where everyone cheers each other on, even when it stings a bit 🚲.

Two formats, two moods: the 110 to treat yourself while keeping some in the tank for what’s next, and the 160 if you want to live a great story… and come back with calves full of memories 😅. A cyclosportive with two distances to ride in the tracks of the UCI World Championships 2027.

My advice as a local guide: pace yourself from the start, look up often (the scenery here deserves as much attention as the clock), and keep a little margin for the finale — in Haute-Savoie, “easy” is rarely used in the present tense 😉.

After the finish in Sallanches, stick around—it’s worth it: go for a stroll by Lac des Ilettes to recover in peace, head up to Passy for its incredible view of Mont Blanc, swing by Combloux for that postcard-perfect spot, or treat yourself to a walk in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains for the resort vibe and a great time on a terrace ☀️.

And if you’re coming as a duo or with your crew, you’ll have everything you need: an easy walk around the lake, a snack facing the peaks, and a sunset that everyone agrees on — here, even recovery has some elevation! 🌄
