Join the Festival d'Alpe with Event Pace Partners!

As le Tour de France enters the Alpes, all eyes will be on stage 12 when the pro peloton turns to the sky on the historic Alpe d’Huez. As the battle in the Alpes reaches its pinnacle and the race for the Maillot Jaune heats up, it’s time for you to throw down some serious Watts of your own.

At over 12km in length and 1,000 meters of climbing, Alpe du Zwift is where legends are made. Etch your name in your own record book as you tackle the 21 hairpin turns of the most storied climb in all of cycling.

Join the Event Pace Partners as they pace you on your way to setting a new personal best time up Alpe du Zwift! Event Pace Partners will be available at a number of different paces to help you set that new landmark time! Looking to break the hour mark? 90 minutes? Two hours? We’ve got you covered!

NOTE: Start the climb up Alpe du Zwift with your Pace Partner and do your best to finish with or ahead of them at the summit in order to achieve your target completion time. Bonne Chance!

Each Event Pace Partner will start you off with a gentle warm up, at 66% of the climbing pace for the first 5km of the route, before you reach the climb itself and your Event Pace Partner sets off at climbing pace.
