1-day solo lake tour

Un parcours exceptionnel autour du lac d'Annecy

We would like to make you aware of the historical difficulty of the tOur du lac course.Please be aware that without proper training, it will be difficult to complete the tOur du Lac.

Since 2021, all riders dropping out between Doussard and the finish will be classified as "MaXi-Challenger".

De nouveau cette année, le tOur du lac tournera dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre.

La première montagne à gravir sera donc le Massif du Veyrier, les tracés seront adaptés et en adéquation avec le fait d’y passer de nuit et en phase de départ. Le lever du soleil sera pour la plupart d’entre vous sur un point avec vue panoramique magique. A quelques kilomètres de l’arrivée, juste avant le dernier ravitaillement, vous profiterez d’une vue 360°, puis d’une descente jusqu’en bordure du lac pour rejoindre l’arrivée.

Bib recovery: how does it work?

Afin de limiter une affluence et une concentration trop importante de public, nous avons mis en place des créneaux de retrait des dossards (réservation possible du 23 avril au 21 mai).
Nous avons prévu 30% de places supplémentaires par rapport au nombre d’inscrits, afin de vous proposer une grande flexibilité dans le choix de votre créneau.

Please note the following information:

  • For each Race, several slots are available with limited numbers of places, so the earlier you make your choice, the more possibilities you'll have.
  • As long as a time slot is displayed, it means there are still spots available. Once you’ve made your selection, REMEMBER TO SUBMIT (at the bottom of the form)!!! Otherwise, your selection won’t be saved!!!
  • Une fois que vous avez fait un choix, il est possible de le modifier avant la date limite de réponse (21 mai).
