Description

The Haute Maurienne Vanoise Cyclo Challenge consists of 6 climbs, each more unique than the last.

The Valfréjus touring climb is 5.8 km long and has a D+ of 387m. It starts at the junction of the Fréjus tunnel and Valfréjus roads, and finishes in front of the Valfréjus Tourist Office.
This is the only climb of the HMV Cyclo Challenge, which takes place at the end of the day.

How does the HMV Cyclo Challenge work?
Add up the altitude difference of each climb and pass the different levels *.

Each participant will be able to register on site, at the start of the climb, and will receive an HMV Cyclo Challenge support which will then enable him/her to accumulate the vertical gradients of each of the 6 climbs in the area: L'Iserane, Mont Cenis, Aussois, l'Orgère, Valfréjus and Bellecombe.
Some climbs can be done several times if you feel up to it!

3 suggested objectives:

Bronze level: Achieve 1,000 m cumulative vertical drop
Silver level: Reach 2,000 m of cumulative vertical drop
Gold level : 3,000 m cumulative vertical drop

At each level, win goodies from our partners.

Then enter the draw to win the grand prize!
--> Bronze level: your name will appear 1 time,
--> Silver level: your name will appear 2 times,
--> Gold level: your name will appear 3 times!

Push yourself and try to accumulate the most vertical drop!

* Participation in the HMV Cyclo Challenge is not compulsory. You can take part in the cycle touring climb on closed roads without being registered.

The D216 road will be closed to motorized vehicles from 5.00 pm to 7.00 pm.
