On your marks. Get set. Go!
A 5-day tour covering almost 250km and over 8,000* metres of ascent.
An extraordinary sporting challenge that also offers an insight into the diversity of the Haute-Alpes region.

*Due to a technical problem, the actual altitude difference on the Tour du Lac de Serre-Ponçon is around 8,000m, and not 9,000m as announced in the route specifications.
The Tour of Lake Serre-Ponçon (TSP) is back with a Gravel version! On the programme: great rolling DFCI tracks, interspersed with stretches of mountain gravel and amazing panoramic views. And for the particularly brave, there are a number of legendary passes and summits, including Mont Colombis, Parpaillon and Pontis. The most demanding ascent will be rewarded with one of the most beautiful balconies of this trip on the slopes of Mont Guillaume: the Chemin de la Baume.
