Presentation

 
La FOREST’CIME is a three-day stage cycling tour starting and ending in the town of Arbent – Espace Loisirs – (01100).
 
Stages
– Friday, June 28th 2024 : Arbent – Plateau d’Hauteville
– Saturday, June 29th 2024 : Plateau d’Hauteville – Bellecin Orgelet
– Sunday, June 30th 2024 : 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, massage, pool, jacuzzi and sonnas ( Bellecin).

               

 

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.
