Haute Route Ventoux and Haute Route Alpe d'Huez Courses Revealed |
|
Following the announcement of the 2019 courses for the 7-day events and Haute Route Asheville in December, course details for two more 2019 Haute Route events were revealed today; both the Haute Route Alpe d’Huez (July 12-14) and Haute Route Ventoux (October 4-6) present several new features whilst remaining true to the routes that have made the events so popular amongst Haute Route riders. New in 2019, both events also offer riders the opportunity to choose between the Original or Compact course, with the Compact courses featuring fewer kilometres and less climbing than the more demanding Original courses.
True to the Haute Route promise, participants will be privy to a full “ride like a pro” experience throughout each event. From extensive security measures out on the road, including race vehicles, Mavic neutral support, medical support and rolling road closures; to unrivalled off-the-bike services such as massages, meals, briefings and much more, riders are sure to make the most of their weekends and enjoy memorable experiences in the process. |

Returning for a third edition, highlights of the 2019 Haute Route Alpe d’Huez course include a double ascent of the Col de la Croix de Fer on stage one, three different ascents to Alpe d’Huez and an uphill time trial on the famous 21 bends.
Also returning for its third edition, highlights of the Haute Route Ventoux course include the three ascents of Mont Ventoux, a sunrise climb through the Gorges de la Nesque and empty roads snaking through the vineyards and quaint towns of Provence. |
