Cyclo Sancy arc en ciel - 154 km 2026

La Sancy Arc en Ciel is a cycling weekend held in Chambon-sur-Lac, Puy-de-Dome. The 154 km cyclosportive is the longest road option. Taking place in September, the event features road cyclosportives, gravel rides, and a short gastronomic cyclorando, catering to riders seeking varied cycling experiences. The 154 km route, beginning in the morning, includes 2,950 metres of climbing, positioning it as a hilly, medium-mountain challenge rather than a flat, fast race. The road cycling program also offers shorter cyclosportive distances of approximately 77 km and 100 km, both with significant climbs. The gravel options are 30 km and 80 km. The 20 km food-focused cyclorando provides a more local, relaxed alternative to the demanding rides. Laurent Brochard is associated with the event, which is affiliated with the FFC and is part of the Trophee Passion challenge. Complementing the cycling, an exhibitor village and weekend activities are available, along with free childcare by registration, making it a notably family-friendly mountain cycling event.
