With the famous mountain resort of Villars at its epicenter, the Vaud Alps are set to host a weekend of festivities for cycling enthusiasts.
The UCI Gravel Switzerland will be held at the gates of the UCI headquarters, on the same weekend as the Swiss Gran Fondo. With three routes on offer, this event is aimed at competitive riders as well as amateur riders looking for a personal challenge or a family day around their common passion for gravel.
Departing from Villars, the route takes participants into the heart of the Vaud Alps. The 102-kilometer loop links the pastures of Villars, Les Diablerets and Gryon, through gravel sections and quiet mountain roads.
