The Alps Divide ULTRA is a self-supported, single-stage, mixed-terrain bikepacking challenge, weaving along the Western Alps, from the Mediterranean Sea to Lake Geneva/Lac Leman. Crossing back and forth along the national borders of France, Italy and Switzerland.

A beautiful 1000km journey filled with high mountain passes, alpine pastures, turquoise lakes, and historic military gravel roads. Accumulating 32,000m of climbing along the way.

The route showcases the spectacular and diverse landscapes of the Alps whilst taking you on paths less travelled. A mix of 4×4 tracks, quiet paved lanes and a little single-track.
