Official Start
Glorious Glacier Ride
Innsbruck, 28 August 2026
Take Action
Join the Climate Peloton
Join the Glorious Glacier Ride at its official start in Innsbruck and be part of a unique cycling and climate awareness experience.
On Friday, 28 August, cyclists will gather in the morning at the Cool INN Park in Innsbruck to kick off the ride towards Chamonix. We aim to bring together at least 50 riders for this collective start. You can join for the full route or ride just a section; everyone is welcome.
We challenge all riders to raise awareness about climate change by raising funds for projects by Klimacent. This NGO from Tyrol invests in climate-resilient protective forests and restores wetlands that store CO₂.
Understand the Challenge
Join the Climate Fresk
On the evening before, Thursday, 27 August from 16:00 to 19:00, we will host an interactive climate workshop at the Cool INN Park in Innsbruck. During this workshop, you will discover the basics of climate change and the impacts of glacier loss, but more importantly, it offers practical perspectives for climate action.
More than 2.5 million people worldwide have taken part in the Climate Fresk and rated it excellent (9/10). Maybe that is because food and drinks are included ;-)
Both the start event and the workshop are free of charge.
