Make sure you have the Ride with GPS app downloaded onto your device before the event. This app will provide you with all the info you need and will be our main communication channel with you during the event. You can find everything from course details, hotel and shuttle information, results and much much more.
It is time to shake out the legs before your event, check the bike and meet other Haute Route Crans-Montana riders with a pre-event ride on Thursday 10th June at 1500 CET.
The Haute Route Ambassadors have planned a great 20km ride, including the all-important coffee and cake stop to make sure you are ready for the start of Haute Route Crans-Montana. Register your interest below.
Every rider has their own personal preferences but you can find a suggested list of items to take with you on the bike and items to pack in your backpack in the Ultimate Guide. Here are two important reminders from the Haute Route team:
- You need to bring your own large towel for the post-stage massage
- You must have your 'Good To Go' pass ready to present if you want to access any of the Haute Route services or amenities.
GRAB A BEER AT THE ABLOC VENGA BUS
After a hard day in the saddle you have earned your ABLOC, so check out the Venga bus at the finish line for a well deserved beer! The bus will be serving ABLOC Pro Zero, a delicious alcohol free white beer, and ABLOC Natural Blonde Beer, a 4.8% refreshing blonde beer carefully crafted in Switzerland by Brasserie Jorat. Plus, all ABLOC beers are enriched with Alpine Minerals to aid quick recovery.
