Chamonix Tour de Fox in collaboration with ZWAP

13-14 September

The Chamonix Tour de Fox is returning to Chamonix, France, to raise vital funds for The Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson’s Research (MJFF). Over two days, cyclists are invited to ride through some of the most spectacular parts of the French Alps.

Starting in 2025, and in close collaboration with ZWAP Cycling Club, similar opportunities will also be available for those unable to participate in person — using Zwift’s digital cycling platform.
