Ride to the Edge of a Vanishing World

Chamonix, 4 September 2026

60 km | 1,500 m elevation | Col de Montets | Trient Glacier

For one week, a peloton of climate riders will push through 740 km of Alpine terrain — witnessing glaciers in retreat, communities adapting, and a planet crying out for action. On Friday 4 September, that journey ends in Chamonix. And you can be there for the finish.

This is your moment. Local riders from the Chamonix region: come out, clip in, and ride the final kilometres alongside a peloton that has crossed the Alps for a reason. Together, you'll make the finish unforgettable — and send a powerful message that climate action starts here, in the shadow of a shrinking glacier.

At 12:30, you roll out from the Place du Triangle. By 14:00, you're standing at the Chalet du Glacier — face to face with what's left of the Trient Glacier. What you see there will stay with you. Then it's back over the Swiss-French border, up the Col de Montets, and into Chamonix for a finish worth celebrating.

The concept route can be viewed here.

In the morning, from 9:00 to 12:00, we're hosting a hands-on climate workshop. In just three hours, you'll go from concerned to equipped. The Climate Fresk doesn't just explain climate change — it transforms how you see it, and what you believe you can do about it. Over 2.5 million people have taken part and rated it 9/10. Come hungry — for knowledge and for the food and drinks we're providing.

The Climate Fresk workshop is free of charge.

A small participation fee of €15 goes directly towards supporting the ride and the climate projects behind it. Every euro counts.

See you in Chamonix. Let's ride for the glaciers.
