Presentation
Welcome to the ninth edition of the FOREST’CIME organised by the association “La Forestière”.
We sincerely hope, through this event, where the spirit of conviviality and solidarity are uppermost, to satisfy
your vision of what cycling should be. These values found in all areas of sport should be encouraged and it is
through these values that the individual effort is rewarded in a collective context. It is within this spirit that we
have concocted the course for this year’s event that will take through excitingly-varied countryside and some
astonishing sites too. You will be fully supported from the start to the finish of the sportive by a team of volunteers,
at your service, who will help you get the most from the event. You will also be accompanied on the
course by members of the “La Forestière’s” team of riders, ambassadors of our association.
La FOREST’CIME is a three-day stage cycling tour starting and ending in the town of Arbent – Espace Loisirs – (01100).
Stages
– Friday, June 23th 2023 : Arbent – Bellecin Orgelet
– Saturday, June 24th 2023 : Bellecin Orgelet – Bellecin Orgelet
– Sunday, June 25th 2023 : Bellecin Orgelet– Arbent
The race takes place at a free pace for the participants on the connecting routes between the villages stages without timing and may be assimilated to a cyclotourism-type trial which does not give rise to classification.
However, a part of the course is timed (one climb per day) which allows to perform a mountain performance classification.

With a start at the gate of the PARC NATUREL DU HAUT JURA, La FOREST’CIME owes its name to its exceptional route through the mountains of the AIN and the JURA, with its famous passes dominated by the summit of fir trees.
La FOREST’CIME is the IDEAL TRIAL TO PREPARE YOUR SUMMER GOALS, like the high road of the Alps or the Pyrenees but without time pressure. You will be guided by an organization that has proven itself for the past 30 years with the events of La Forestière VTT et Cyclo, which brings together more than 2500 participants each year.
La FOREST’CIME is to do in individual or in groups that guarantees you unforgettable mountain trails, scheduled for three days. Accommodation in quality facilities, meals specific to cycling, gourmet and cycling-specific refreshments, followed by efficient and secure logistics.
La FORESTCIME is a three-day mountain adventure, with connecting routes between the stage villages and timed parts on climbs to the passes.
With about 450 kilometres and 8,500 metres of elevation, participants will have the opportunity to discover remarkable sites and to compete on ascents worthy of alpine passes.
