THE HIKE – Alps Epic

 

THE HIKE - Alps Epic

Alps Epic is the kind of event that turns a bike race into a full alpine adventure.

Set in the breathtaking Hautes-Alpes region of France, it takes riders deep into some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in Europe — high alpine passes, forest trails, rugged climbs, and sweeping descents, all surrounded by incredible views that make every effort feel worth it.

What makes it especially appealing is the freedom to choose your ride style. Athletes can take on the event either by mountain bike or gravel bike, allowing you to shape the experience around the kind of challenge you enjoy most. Whether you prefer the technical, trail-focused feel of MTB or the fast, adventurous flow of gravel riding, the event offers a route and atmosphere to match.

The entire event is designed as a stage-based journey through the Alps, creating that perfect mix of challenge and exploration. Each day brings new terrain, new climbs, and new landscapes, making it feel less like a single race and more like an unforgettable week-long expedition on two wheels.

There’s also a strong sense of comfort and experience built into it. With logistics, accommodation, and race support taken care of, riders can focus fully on the adventure itself — riding hard during the day and enjoying the atmosphere, food, and camaraderie afterwards.

In the end, Alps Epic is about choosing your bike, embracing the mountains, and experiencing the Alps in the most unforgettable way possible.
