L'Alsacienne Cyclo

L'Alsacienne Cyclo is a road cycling event held in late June at Lac de Kruth-Wildenstein in Kruth, located in France's Haut-Rhin department. It features mountain routes within the Vosges Massif, with published distances of 71 km, 100 km, 147 km, and 170 km, allowing participants to select a route ranging from a moderate ride to a substantial alpine-style challenge. The routes traverse forests, pass lakes, and ascend Vosges climbs, combining easier gradients with steeper sections where multiple cols follow in succession. The event accommodates a diverse field, including beginners, seasoned cyclosportive riders, touring cyclists, and international participants. A notable tradition is its straightforward pricing policy: the stated entry fee is final for all participants, with optional add-ons like meals, cancellation insurance, and personal accident insurance being at each rider's discretion.
