Elevation Vercors 2026

Elevation Vercors begins and ends in L'Albenc, Isère, France, taking participants into the Vercors for a 350 km self-supported bikepacking race. The route involves 10,000 meters of climbing, with a 60-hour time limit, emphasizing consistent ascent, sleep strategy, and self-sufficiency over external support. The course consists of 60% off-road and 40% paved sections, suitable for a mountain bike or a gravel bike equipped with at least 700x45 mm tires. Rider entry is limited to 100 participants, maintaining a select field for an event of this scale. Now in its third edition, the race is defined by its challenging, predominantly off-road journey through the rugged Vercors, completed with complete rider autonomy.
