Women only road bike festival
Gstaad | 23 - 24 June 2023

#joyfirst

LA REINE celebrates female road cycling. On breathtaking roads free of traffic, in a cultivated atmosphere and with a lot of socializing.

Even if the ride may be challenging and with the option to measure up with others, the main task of LA REINE is pure joy and positive female cyclist attitude. Always with a smile.

The well balanced shortened version of the Gran Fondo. Toughest part are the first 15km, that's when you are still fresh ... the rest is rolling and enjoying. Even beginners can do it, no stress, just take your time!

2 timed sections (optional).

Switch Parcours?

The selection of parcours during registration is not binding. It just helps us planning the catering stations without food waste. But you are allowed to switch parcours even during the ride (2 junctions). If you participate in the race category, the timing system will automatically classify you for the parcours effectively ridden.

New for 2023
