Cyclosportive La Madeleine 2026

Cyclosportive La Madeleine is a road cycling event held in Saint-François-Longchamp, Savoie, in the French Alps, near the end of July. Participants tackle a demanding mountain day in the Maurienne region, choosing from three routes ranging from approximately 60 to 125 km. Both a cyclosportive ride and a more leisurely cyclorando format are available. The routes traverse the Maurienne mountains and include well-known Alpine passes, making climbing the primary focus. The 60 km La Montvernier route offers a shorter option, while the La Madeleine route presents a longer challenge of about 115 km. Some sources also mention an 80 km option. This event is suited for road cyclists seeking mountain climbs, scenic roads, and an organized ride with a convivial atmosphere, rather than a flat, fast race.
