GFNY La Vaujany – Alpe d’Huez (France)

The mountain village Vaujany, located in the French Alps, will host the fourth edition of GFNY La Vaujany. The challenging race course is 151.7 km long with an elevation gain of 3914m. Riders will tackle the lesser known Col de la Morte and Col d’Ornon before facing the mythical switchbacks of L’Alpe d’Huez. But it’s likely the final climb up to host town Vaujany that will decide the race.
