Megève MB Cycling - 80 km is the shortest option in a mountain cyclosportive based in Megève, Haute-Savoie, for riders seeking Alpine climbs without the 105 km or 140 km routes. All participants begin together, deciding their distance on the road. The 80 km choice is not made beforehand but is one of three live options influenced by rider condition, weather, and how the climbs feel that day.
The route crosses the Beaufortain region, featuring genuine mountain terrain. It includes the challenging Col de l’Arpettaz, the more gradual Col des Saisies through alpine pastures, and the recent Mont Lachat ascent. Established in 1989, the event attracts cyclosport riders and mountain enthusiasts, not solely competitors aiming for the podium. Participants are timed electronically, utilize aid stations on the passes, and benefit from practical amenities like showers at the Palais des Sports, secure bike parking, a Mercier jersey, and a post-event meal.
