The Hautes-Alpes Autumnal 2026

Fancy a weekend where you gain altitude, literally and figuratively? The Hautes-Alpes Autumnal takes you to Villar-Saint-Pancrace, in the heart of the Hautes-Alpes, for a mountain adventure that puts stars in your calves and images in your head 🏔️.

Here, the mountains don’t pretend: you come for the fresh air, the knockout panoramas, and that little “come back for more” feeling the moment you cross the line again 🧭.

You choose your format, depending on what you’re craving: test yourself on Le KV du Mélézin when you want to see how far you can climb, have fun on La Sprint Race to pick up the pace, or head out on an adventure with L’Alpin Race when you want wild and spectacular.

And if you want to keep the good times going, you’ve also got Les Ayes, L’Orceyrette, or L’Intégral: plenty to get your dose of elevation without overthinking it—just enjoy yourself (promise, you won’t be “flat at all”) 🔥.

The best part of it all is the atmosphere: you share a real village party, altitude edition, among enthusiasts, the curious, and lovers of beautiful trails 🌲.

After the effort, save a bit of energy to explore around the start: take a stroll through Briançon and its Vauban fortifications, climb up to Fort des Têtes for the view, or wander through the Vauban Citadel for a well-deserved terrace break.

If you’re staying in the area, treat yourself to a postcard moment at Col d’Izoard or a walk along the Lac de la Clarée: perfect as a couple, with family, or just to savor your calm “post-race” time 🎒.

You come for a race, you leave with a mini-trip to Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, and the urge to do it again as soon as possible.
