Mont Ventoux and Alps tour with Sportive Breaks
The biggest and best Grand Tour of the year has a brilliant and very challenging final week in store. After the final rest day on Monday 21 July, we see the return of Mont Ventoux. After a sprint stage with finish in Valence, two classic Alpine stages follow. Stage 18 on Thursday 24 July finishes on the Col de la Loze near Courchevel. Stage 19 on Friday takes the riders from Albertville to the ski resort of La Plagne.
Sportive Breaks offer unforgettable cycling and spectator tours with hotels, transport, daily support all included. Our 7-night tour allows you to ride Mont Ventoux the day before the stage, before watching the peloton the next day. In the Alps our central location puts us in the heart of the action. Experience the key stages of the final week of the 2025 race.

Today we will witness the first of two epic mountain stages that will decide who will arrive victoriously in Paris on the Champs Elysees on Sunday. The riders will ride up from the hotel to the Col de la Loze. Spectators can spend the day exploring this mountain spa town, before watching the race as it comes past our hotel.
Col de la Loze is quickly establishing itself as a legendary Alpine climb, which is impressive when you consider that the cycle path was only opened in 2019! This is the climb’s third appearance in the race, and the first from the Courchevel side. This purpose-built cycle path is car free, so the ride today won’t be supported.
