A 100% women's weekend around the UCI Gran Fondo!
For several years now, a Strava challenge has been taking cyclists on a tour of the Vaud Alps. The principle is simple: cyclists ride segments of the region's most beautiful climbs and record their outings on the Strava platform. At the end of the season, participants can win prizes in a grand prize draw. In 2024, over 3,700 times were recorded in this way.
New this year: four gravel segments.
