Haute Route Alps

2022 Haute Route Alps

One of the toughest weeks in amateur cycling, the Haute Route Alps is the flagship event of the Haute Route Cycling Series. This is a week of cycling bucket list climbs made famous by the Tour de France and the Giro d’Italia. A lot of it is spent at altitude with several cols over 2,000 metres above sea level. In 2022, the peloton will start in Nice and after 7 stages it will finish in Megeve. The new course will be making stops at host towns that the Haute Route has never visited before.

Route summary

  • Two new host venues; Cuneo (It) and Meribel
  • 6 cols over 2 000 metres (Lombarde, Agnel, Izoard, Lautaret, Madeleine, Loze)
  • 806km of riding on 7 back to back stage days

  • A Queen stage on stage 1 with 181km including the Col de Saint Martin and the Col de la Lombarde

Itinerary

Saturday 20 August, 2022

Please make your own arrangements to arrive at our hotel in Nice today. Our team will be available to meet you at the hotel. If you plan to fly then we offer airport transfers for you, your luggage and your bike from Nice Cote d’Azur Airport throughout the day.

Sunday 21 August, 2022 – Stage 1 – Nice to Cuneo (181km/4100 m+)

The 2022 edition of the Haute Route Alps will be getting underway with a bang, setting out from the stunning seaside metropolis of Nice and heading straight for the mountains with a huge opening stage. Conquering two epic cols in 181km and accruing 4100m+ across two countries, Stage One is not pulling any punches

Monday 22 August, 2022 – Stage 2 - Cuneo – Col d’Izoard (118km/3600 m+)

We have an early breakfast at the hotel today. We ask you to have your bags ready in reception and our team will collect these for you. The bags will be delivered to your hotel in Cuneo. Backing up from an epic first leg, the second stage of the Haute Route Alps is going to be an all-time great. Racing away from Cuneo, riders will have all eyes on the legendary Col d’Agnel. Featured in both the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France, this special climb is the third-highest paved road in the Alps. After descending back into France, the focus will shift to another classic: Col d’Izoard

Tuesday 23 August, 2022 – Stage 3 - Serre Chevalier Briançon – Les 2 Alpes (108km/3200 m+)

We have an early breakfast at the hotel today. We ask you to have your bags ready in reception and our team will collect these for you. The bags will be delivered to your hotel in Briancon. Stage Three packs a lot into just 108km. A long ascent to Col du Lautaret from Serre Chevalier Briançon is the perfect warm up, with steady gradients and epic views of the Écrins mountain range. But the main course of the day will no doubt be the spectacular loop to Alpe d’Huez via Col de Sarenne, and the unforgettable balcony road to Le Freney d’Oisans

Wednesday 24 August, 2022 – Stage 4 - Les 2 Alpes – Méribel (152km/4100 m+)

Stage Four of the 2022 Haute Route Alps is all about the hard yards, starting with the famous - and arguably infamous - Col du Glandon. With steep ramps to keep you on your toes, this 1300m+ climb is one breakfast spin you won’t soon forget. Continuing the race north, eyes will soon turn to the next challenge of the day - and it’s a big one. With long sections of road with gradients in the double figures, the formidable climb to Col de la Madeleine will put every rider to the test. The stage will finish with the triumphant climb to Méribel

Thursday 25 August, 2022 – Stage 5 - Méribel – Col de la Loze (Time Trial) (10km/850 m+)

We have an slightly later breakfast at the hotel today. There is no need to have your bags ready in reception as we’ll be staying another night in Meribel. Choosing the location for the Haute Route Alps time trial is always a fun task. It’s an opportunity to condense everything we love about riding in the Alps into one all-out uphill blast. And the 2022 time trial is no exception. In an Haute Route first, Col de la Loze will host the finish line for the uphill time trial. Churning out equal amounts of breathtaking beauty and heartbreaking double-figure ramps, this 10km climb from Méribel to La Loze will keep the best of them on their toes.

Friday 26 August, 2022 – Stage 6 - Méribel – Megève (138km/3500 m+)

We have an early breakfast at the hotel today. We ask you to have your bags ready in reception and our team will collect these for you. The bags will be delivered to your hotel in Cuneo. The penultimate stage will take riders from Méribel to Megève via some classic climbs guaranteed to take your breath away. Riders will start the day with the stunning switchbacks to the Col du Tra, before heading north to the legendary Cormet de Roselend. Featuring in no less than 12 Tour de France stages, Roselend is as legendary as it is spectacular, making it the ultimate bucket-list pass. Dropping down the north-west side of the pass with it’s stunning turquoise lake, riders then turn their attention to lovely Saisies, racing into the green rolling mountains surrounding Megève.

Saturday 27 August, 2022 – Stage 7 - Megève – Megève (99km/2400 m+)

We have a slightly later breakfast at the hotel today. There is no need to have your bags ready in reception as we’ll be staying another night in Megeve. Saving some of the best for last, the final stage of the 2022 Haute Route Alps will be an absolute beauty. In an epic, 148km loop from Megève, the stage will take in a host of short climbs around the stunning green surrounds of the Haute-Savoie. With Col de l’Epine, Col de la Croix Fry and Col des Aravis all on the menu, the picturesque ride is the perfect final chapter to this edition of the Haute Route Alps.

Sunday 28 August, 2022 - Departure

After breakfast we offer our optional transfer back to Geneva airport. We advise you not to book any flights before 10:00 as it will be a mega early start. Our first airport transfer will leave Megeve at 06:00 in time for flights that depart Geneva after 10:00.
