Cyclosportive des Portes du Soleil

With nearly 1,000 people expected at the start of the race, the Cyclosportive des Portes du Soleil will extend well beyond the borders of the Dents du Midi region. The participating communities will be eager to welcome participants and their companions to the Chablais region—in Valais, France, and Vaud—and more broadly to all the towns along the route and at the various aid stations set up along the way. For this inaugural edition, starting from Champéry in the Dents du Midi region, get ready for a unique experience amid unspoiled landscapes and majestic peaks!
An exhibitor village open to everyone will be set up for the occasion in the Palladium parking lot, where brands from the cycling industry will mingle with artisans, producers, and local businesses.
