BECAUSE IT’S CHALLENGING

Nothing cooler for cyclists than working towards a cycling goal. Those who cycle in the Vosges never come across a flat course. On the contrary, so let it be a reason for getting yourself prepped and ready! Need a training schedule? Then get in touch with Energy Lab for a schedule tailored to your needs.

BECAUSE ANYONE CAN DO IT

Cycling in the Vosges is not easy, but it’s not arduous either. The cols of the Vosges are not the mountains you find in the Alps, Pyrenees or Dolomites and are a viable option for many cycling tourists. Anyone can do it!

BECAUSE IT’S CLOSE BY

Tired of spending 12 hours in the car only to conquer a few mountain passes a day later feeling sleepy? Then Climbing for Life 2024 is for you because after about five hours, the Vosges passes loom before you.

BECAUSE IT IS NOT THE FIRST TIME

Climbing for Life has been active for more than a decade. The organisation can look back on a long history and is therefore more on point than ever. A signposted route, good supplies, entertainment before and after the rides … Climbing for Life stands for a top-notch organisation.

BECAUSE YOU SUPPORT A GOOD CAUSE

Sport and exercise are healthy. Also for people with diabetes. More than that: in the prevention and treatment of diabetes, sufficient exercise and sport is an indispensable pillar. Those who participate in Climbing for Life help raise funds for the Diabetes League in their fight against diabetes.

BECAUSE IT IS A BUCKET-LIST EVENT

There are rides you must do at some point. Climbing for Life is one of them. The event has already been introduced in numerous European hotspots. In 2024, you have the chance to tick off a bucket-list event relatively close to home.

BECAUSE THE COURSE FEATURES FAMOUS COLS

The Ballon d’Alsace was the very first mountain in the Tour de France. And the steep La Planche des Belles Filles is known not only from the cyclo Les Trois Ballons but also from the Tour stage victories of Dylan Teuns and Tadej Pogacar. The Climbing for Life course features both climbs.

BECAUSE YOU CAN BRING YOUR FAMILY AND COLLEAGUES ALONG

You know the drill: cycling events without a look in for your family or partner. Climbing for Life is different. Walkers and trail runners are also welcome, which means partners, friends and colleagues can also actively participate, without the need for a bike.

BECAUSE YOU DO IT WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHERS

Cycling on your own is fun but participating in a cycling event together with thousands of others gives a different vibe. The atmosphere and ambience of Climbing for Life are second to none. Bring your cycling friends or challenge work colleagues to a fun, team building ride?

BECAUSE THE AFTERPARTY IS HOT

The cycling is one thing, the after-party is another. Climbing for Life guarantees a super fun après-bike.
