A mix of roads, paths, and trails.
The Gravel event is now a staple of the program, bringing together competitors and nature lovers alike. Year after year, the format evolves and the course adapts. So, there will be a radical change of direction for 2026. While the two formats offered in 2025, “short” and “long,” will be repeated, participants will set off together for a more convivial atmosphere. Also, to restore the discipline’s adventurous character and festive atmosphere, riders will navigate without rankings or signposts. For both formats, only individual times will be communicated.
After an uphill start through the Bois de Ville d’Allinges and then Armoy, the rolling trails will give way to marshes and farm tracks towards Lully, an iconic location for its refreshment station.
The Margencel woods will provide the transition to the final stage of the race. This will be a new feature, with the focus on the shores of Lake Geneva. The Ultra will start on the Chemins Blancs between Douvaine, Chens, Excenevex, and Sciez before returning to the short course on the shores of Séchex and Anthy. Peace and quiet guaranteed!
NB: Mountain bikes and e-bikes are allowed.
