Come and join us for the spectacular ‘Cols to Cannes Challenge’, a unique 4-stage Alpine bike ride. There is nothing better than telling people in Cannes, ‘I came by bike’.

The stunning route takes on some of the most iconic cols and climbs from the Tour de France, and can cater to cyclists of all abilities.  The next event will be taking place 12 -15 June 2019 to arrive for the Cannes Advertising Festival. Our last event raised £150 000 for our charity partner and made all the participants feel very fulfilled.

500km. 10000+ metres. 4 unique stages.

What can I expect?

Rides to suit your ability. The Ultra route will ride up to 500km, and climb over 10,000m. The ‘Social Climbers Classic’ route will ride up to 430km, and climb over 7,000m. Both routes include the legendary ascent of Mont Ventoux, and numerous other Alpine cols. There is also the option to take on the Triple Ventoux on Day 2 and become a member of The Club des Cinglés du Mont-Ventoux.

Described as ‘one of the best experiences of my life’ by a previous participant, the ride undulates through amazing scenery and is a brilliant way to bond with colleagues and clients. You will laugh a lot and feel amazing when you have completed the challenge.
