L'Ultr'Arverne - 560 km 2026

L'Ultr'Arverne is a 560-kilometer cycling race based in Ambert, Puy-de-Dôme, Auvergne. Riders start at 07:00, fitting the scale of the task ahead: this is a very long day, or more than a day, on the bike, not a standard road race. The headline figure after the distance is the climbing: 10,400 meters of elevation gain. This places the race firmly in the hilly and mountainous Auvergne terrain, with Ambert as the anchor and the surrounding Puy-de-Dôme roads dictating the route.
