The Haute Route celebrated its successful premiere this year. In seven stages, the participants covered 730 kilometres and 17,000 metres in altitude from Geneva to Nice. This made racing cyclists' hearts beat faster and demanded full commitment from their thighs. The organiser has now announced the date of the second edition of the Haute Route: From 19 to 25 August 2012, racing bike enthusiasts can once again make their way from Geneva to Nice.

As at its premiere, the second edition of the Haute Route will start on 19 August 2012 in the English Garden in Geneva and end on the Promenade des Englanders in Nice. The organiser will announce the exact route in the first half of November.

Registration for the Haute Route will be possible online from 15 November.

Two riders from Team TOUR powered by Cube also successfully took part in the premiere of the Haute Route. Nils Haseborg and Henning Gerster set off on the long journey from Geneva to Nice and conquered the Col du Telegraphe and the Galibier, which was the worthy stage for the queen stage of this year's Tour de France.
