How does the HMV Cyclo Challenge work?
Add up the altitude difference of each climb and pass the different levels *.

Each participant will be able to register on site, at the start of the climb, and will receive an HMV Cyclo Challenge support which will enable him/her to accumulate the vertical gradients of each of the 6 climbs in the area: L'Iserane, Mont Cenis, Aussois , l’Orgère, Valfréjus and Bellecombe.
Some climbs can be done several times if you feel up to it!

3 suggested objectives:

Bronze level: Achieve 1,000 m cumulative vertical drop
Silver level: Reach 2,000 m of cumulative vertical drop
Gold level: 3,000 m cumulative vertical drop

At each level, win goodies from our partners.

Then enter the draw to win the grand prize!
--> Bronze level: your name will appear 1 time,
--> Silver level: your name will appear 2 times,
--> Gold level: your name will appear 3 times!

Push yourself and try to accumulate the most vertical drop!
