Goal FINISHER !
Over the last few years, the TransVésubienne has made a name for itself in the mountain biking world thanks to its avant-garde character, combined with the sporting and personal challenges it imposes on its participants.
Around 87 km and 2600D+ are the “measures” of the 2025 TransVésubienne. This year, it’s time to discover and enjoy long-distance cycling for the privileged few who will cross the finish line after this extraordinary mountain bike epic.
Try your hand at adventure! Solo, Duo or Bike Hiking… on a mountain bike or e-bike on the TransVésubienne Ultra or the TransVésubienne Explorer… There’s something for everyone, so you can taste the pleasure of arriving in Nice after an epic mountain bike crossing!

The TransV Kid will follow the same route as the adult prologue, starting in waves of 5 participants per category on Saturday, October 4.
Two heats are scheduled, with the first start at 1pm.
Come and challenge yourselves on the TransVésubienne prologue course.
At the end of the 1st run, parents will collect their children from Saint Dalmas and take them back up to the Colmiane chairlift for the 2nd run.
DUO RANKING !
Alone we go faster, together we go further!
Together we’re stronger! Stick together all the way to the finish line for a chance to win as a duo. You’ll need to help each other out, because only the time of the last person to cross the line counts for the duo, plus any “solidarity gap” between the first and last teammates if the team doesn’t cross the finish line together. This calculation formula will encourage Duos to stick together right up to the finish line, for better or for worse. Each rider in the team will also be ranked individually in the overall classification.
Open only to TransVésubienne mountain bike participants departing from La Colmiane.

For me, the transV is THE race I used to dream about when I was a kid reading magazines! It just sounded crazy and it was close to home. Finally, the magazines didn’t lie: this year, it’s my 13th start and each time it’s always a huge pleasure!
This race is like no other, firstly because of the concept of crossing from our magnificent mountains to the sea, and secondly because of the extraordinary and unique technical challenge. You have to stay focused from start to finish to tame the Côte d’Azur’s rocky terrain, and of course you can’t forget the physical side, with often 3000 m of D+. All in all, finishing it is already a huge achievement.
We’re also very lucky to have a trail that changes every year, allowing us to vary and reinvent the routes. I can’t wait to be at the start of the 2024 edition!
TransVésubienne : you have to live it to talk about it!
Some dream about it, some fear it, some have broken their teeth on it and others have tamed it.
With its special format and breathtaking mountain route, the TransV has been one of my classics for many years now 🙂 with always that little lump in my stomach the days before, the fear of not arriving, the stress of knowing whether the preparation was good, but always that same smile at the finish!
See you in 4 weeks’ time in the Mercantour for one of the best days of mountain biking this season!
Only the brave
The TransVésubienne is more than just a race, it’s about surpassing yourself!
For the past 5 years, every time I stand on the starting line of the TransVésubienne… I wonder why I ever came!
I suffer on the uphills, I exult on the downhills, but I love every moment of this adventure.
It’s a demanding, committed, technical and tough race, but it’s a real pleasure!
A challenge against oneself…
The TransVésubienne is one of those unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Ranked 12th in the UCI Marathon rankings, I’ve always dreamed of taking part in the TransVésubienne, but unfortunately my schedule has never coincided until this year. At last, I can make my wish come true by starting the TransVésubienne at the end of September.
I’m used to marathon races, and I know that your routes are reputed to be among the most difficult. It’s a challenge I’m looking forward to, with the aim of finishing my 2024 season, why not by winning this race.
I’m an elite athlete with the Boscaro Racing Team, and I’m honoured to be able to take part in the TransVésubienne, a race that takes place above all on spectacular terrain, a race that I know will test me physically and mentally, but I also know that once I’ve crossed the finish line, all my efforts will be rewarded by the satisfaction and happiness of having accomplished this race.
The TransVésubienne… the marathon event of the year!
From technical uphill to downhill, if there’s one race that’s a perfect match for the e-bike, it’s the TransVésubienne! We cross all types of terrain.
It’s not every weekend that you cross a valley from the mountains to the sea.
