Le Pilgrimage is a journey inspired by the legendary travels of Saint Roch, the patron saint of pilgrims. Each day, the pilgrims embark on self-supported stages through some of the Alps’ most challenging terrain. Riders will navigate hidden valleys, isolated refuges, and high-altitude mountain lakes. This year’s stages will highlight the incredible beauty of the Parc National des Écrins, offering views of glaciers, glimpses of hidden valleys, and climbs to some of Europe’s highest mountain passes, like the Col du Galibier.
