Time Megève Mont-Blanc

The Time Megève Mont-Blanc is a classic Cyclo Sportive on the Alpine Sportive calendar and will be the 18th edition of this Cyclo Sportive. This Cyclo Sportive is not as famous as La Marmotte or the L’Etape du Tour although the Time Megève is well known in France. Last year more than 3.000 cyclists completed the course.

There are four different routes: Gran Fondo 142 km with an altitude of 3950m, Medio Fondo 117 km with an altitude of 3200m, Medio Fondo 87 km with an altitude of 2150m, and the Rando 64 km with an altitude of 1570m. You can decide on the day (even after you have started!) which route to take. The Time Megève starts and finishes in the village of Megève. The scenery is spectacular the whole way around and you will have a great chance to tick off some Tour de France Cols.
