The Vosges Gran Fondo
In the heart of picturesque scenery in Alsace and the Vosges Mountains, L'Alsacienne and the communities join forces to offer thousands of cyclists an unforgettable experience. L'Alsacienne is more than a cyclosportive or randonnée: it celebrates a passion for cycling in mountains and a love of the land in a friendly spirit.
The Grand Ballon, the Markstein, the Petit Ballon, the Pinot bend, the Platzerwasel… so many well-known places in the international cyclosportive community that the Vosges Gran Fondo passes through. L’Alsacienne is more than a promise, it lets you create your own CHALLENGE.
Cyclosportive and randonnee courses to suit every taste
L’Alsacienne starts from a mountain lake nestling in a green setting, with courses going from one pass to another without respite. This distinctive feature, together with the beauty of the sites it crosses, remains engraved in the memory of entrants.
All the courses are in the mountains, and are designed to suit the tastes of all participants.
- The 2 untimed randonnée courses, also open to e-bikes, enable you to discover the atmosphere of a major cycling event.
- The 3 cyclosportive (Gran Fondo) courses, which are both demanding and stunning, will attract all entrants with their succession of difficulties and the variety of landscapes.
To feel the excitement together and share the same emotions, they start at the same time and place, and share the first few kilometres. At the starting signal, the colourful and cosmopolitan pack will race off into the richly varied Vosges mountains, without a word in the silent morning. Excitement guaranteed!

WHAT IS A CYCLOSPORTIVE?
Known as a Gran Fondo in certain English-speaking countries, cyclosportives are a test of endurance for cyclists of all levels, whether or not they are members of a cycling federation. They take place on roads open to traffic. At L’Alsacienne, the passes are closed to all traffic.
The courses include a number of difficulties that require endurance. These difficulties, linked to the distance, landscape and length, are interrelated and are characteristic of cyclosportives.
If the event is timed, it records each competitor’s performance. It offers an overall ranking, and a ranking by gender and age group. To be included in the ranking, simply upload one of the three supporting documents accepted on the registration form.
NB : the medical certificate can now be replaced by a Health Certificate filled in by the future entrant. Find out HERE the new conditions for ranking.
