Haute Route Crans-Montana – 3-5 July 2020 |
| A prestigious family destination, Crans-Montana has already welcomed the Haute Route Dolomites Swiss Alps between 2014 and 2017. For the first time in 2020, the Haute Route will stay in the beautiful Swiss resort for three consecutive days. This 3-day event, which includes the greatest elevation gain of the 2020 calendar, will challenge you on the lesser-known cols which are true gems and offer incredible views. During the two classic stages in the heart of the Valais Central, you will cycle through vineyards, traditional villages and gorges before attacking winding ascents with numerous hairpin bends. On the last day, you will set off from Sierre, Switzerland's sunniest city, to face the ascent of the Col de Crans-Montana. |
Haute Route Brazil – 11-13 September 2020 |
| Haute Route will visit the Southern hemisphere for the first time in 2020. From the ocean to the highlands, be prepared for a unique and demanding course. You'll experience a mix of scenic roads along the shore, through rainforests, and up to the iconic 17km Serra do Rio do Rastro climb towards Brazilian highlands, finishing on the summit of the highest inhabited site in southern Brazil. And to crown it all, a time trial in downtown Florianópolis from the historic Hercílio Luz iron bridge up to the highest point of the island and a breathtaking ocean view. |
Haute Route Boulder – 18-20 September 2020 |
