The route ran south from Briançon along Lac de Serre-Ponçon, past the Demoiselles Coiffées rock formations and the town of Seyne, through the limestone canyon of the Clue de Barles, and into Moustiers-Sainte-Marie at the edge of the Gorges du Verdon, finishing with a loop along the Route de Crête above the gorge. Six riders, four nationalities, ages 24 to 61.
