After 10 years of great adventures (and a post-COVID reset), the Alps Epic comes back stronger in 2026: the spirit stays the same, and the race evolves in the ways many riders have been waiting for.
New dates: 7–12 September 2026 (early check-in possible on 6 September).
Moving to late summer helps avoid early-season snow, fits better with the international calendar, and gives everyone more time to prepare for a great edition.
Race format:
- 6 stages to explore the Hautes-Alpes even deeper.
- Stage 1 introduces a semi individual time-trial format.
- The remaining stages will be mass-start, just like always.
Two races, one epic week
- Two events run on the same dates: MTB and Gravel.
- Choose your challenge — race it hard, or ride it to live the full experience.
100% rideable mindset
- A clear commitment to the “100% bike” objective.
- Minimal hike-a-bike whenever possible.
- Climbs designed to be as rideable as possible, descents with a flow spirit.
Packs upgraded:
Packs Blue and Black level up thanks to the partnership with MASQUEBICI and Cap Liberté.
- Accommodation is now in 2-person rooms with private bathrooms for both Blue and Black packs.
Black Pack includes a premium service level for massage and mechanics (details on the official website).
Registrations
- 50 slots are available at the Early-Booking rate — don’t miss it.
