Covering a distance of 750km over seven days with 20,000m of ascent, this race was launched in 2011 and the ‘highest and toughest cyclosportive in the world’. This race is probably the closest you will get to experiencing what a pro-cyclist goes through as you ride six sportives back to back.
In 2014 there will be 3 versions of the Haute Route; one in the Alps, one in the Pyrenees and one in the Dolomites.
