About the Etape du Tour de France

2027 Etape du Tour de France route

Every year one of the stages of the Tour de France is chosen to be the ‘Etape du Tour de France’. This allows amateur riders their opportunity to ride a genuine Tour de France stage under professional race conditions. This means that there are closed roads, a time schedule, cut-off times, feed stations and a Tour de France atmosphere. The 2027 Etape du Tour will take place on Sunday 11 July between Cluses and Les Saisies in the Alps. Sportive Breaks are one of the most experienced tour operators for the Etape du Tour and if you book a hotel package with us you will benefit from having your own support team.

Our team have been present at the last 16 editions of the Etape du Tour and we are looking forward to once again helping our customers make this brilliant cycling event a success. If you are interested in cycling the most famous Sportive in the world, book your place on the Etape du Tour and ride the Queen stage of the 2027 Tour de France. The 2027 route will once again include awesome climbs in one of the world’s best cycling regions. The first Etape du Tour took place in 1993, allowing amateur cyclists the opportunity to race over the same ground as the pros during the Tour de France. The roads are closed during this Sportive, and refreshment stops can be expected along the way, replicating stage two of the Tour de France in every possible way. Our team on the ground are local to the area and have years of experience to ensure that you get the most out of your Etape du Tour experience with us.

The first Etape was in 1993. There is now an international series of Etape du Tour events all over the world – L’Étape by Tour de France (letapebytourdefrance.com)

Pau in the Pyrenees has been visited by the Etape du Tour most often, but the last time the Etape du Tour took place in the Pyrenees was in 2014. The organisers have chosen the Alps due to its commercial success the last few years. The longest Etape was in 2011 from Issoire to St Flour. A few years ago there were two Etapes per year; one in the Alps and one in the Pyrenees.

2020 and 2021

The 2020 and 2021 editions did not take place due to the Covid-19 pandemic. See all editions here – L’Etape du Tour de France – Presentation (letapedutourdefrance.com)

2022 Etape du Tour

The 30th edition of the “Étape du Tour de France” took place on July 10 2022 following the stage 12 route of the Tour de France, between Briançon and Alpe d’Huez. It was one of the toughest Etapes yet with 170km and 4,670m of elevation gain. In one big day out, riders ticked-off some exquisite high-mountain passes like Col du Galibier (2,642m), La Croix de Fer (1,850m), Col du Lautaret (2,058m), finishing it all off on the iconic Alpe d’Huez. The 2022 route was based on the legendary Briançon-Alpe d’Huez stage of 1986, where team mates Greg LeMond and Bernard Hinault rode victoriously over the finish line, shoulder-to-shoulder at Alpe d’Huez.

2023 Etape du Tour

Cyclist Magazine rode the 2023 Etape du Tour with us – read more here

The 31st edition of the Étape du Tour took place on 9 July 2023. The course followed the same route as stage 14 of the 2023 Tour de France. The 152km route started in Annemasse and finished in Morzine Les Portes du Soleil. The course took in 4,100 metres of elevation gain and included the climbs of Col de Saxel, Col de Cou, Col de Feu, Col de la Ramaz and Col de Joux Plane.

2024 Etape du Tour

The 2024 Étape du Tour was one of the most challenging in its history, taking place on July 7 2024. The event mirrored Stage 20 of the 2024 Tour de France, featured a 138km route that climbed nearly 4,600 metres through the stunning landscapes of the Alpes-Maritimes near Nice. Cyclists faced four major climbs including Col de Braus (1,002m), Col de Turini (1,607m), Col de la Colmiane (1,500m) and finally the Col de la Couillole (1,678m), the final mountain-top finish. The date was changed last minute due to French elections. Even though slightly shorter than the 2023 Etape, this was a tough stage with 4,600 metres of climbing over the 138-kilometre route.

2025 Etape du Tour

The 2025 Etape du Tour de France took place on Sunday 20 July 2025 departing from Albertville in the Savoie region of France. The stage of the 2025 Tour de France that was chosen was Stage 19 between Albertville and the ski resort of La Plagne. The route was 131km (80 miles) long with 4,500 metres of ascent and includes the climbs of the Col d’Hery-sur-Ugine, Col des Saisies, Col du Pré, Cormet de Roselend and finally the ascent to the ski resort of La Plagne.

2026 Etape du Tour

The 2026 Etape du Tour de France took place on Sunday 19 July 2026 departing from Bourg d’Osians and finishing in the iconic cycling town of Alpe D’Huez. The route was 170km with 5400 metres of climbing over four major cols. Including the Col du Telegraph and the Col du Galibier. The final climb was the Col de Sarenne which then descends into Alp d’Huez. The pros took on this stage six days later for Stage 20 of the Tour de France.
