Etape du Tour 2025

Take on an actual stage of the Tour de France

The Étape du Tour 2025 is one of the most iconic cycling events open to amateurs, drawing enthusiasts from around the globe to experience its magic first hand. Held annually, this sportive offers participants the rare chance to ride a full stage of the Tour de France just days before the professionals tackle the same route.

What makes the Étape so appealing is its ability to deliver a bucket-list challenge in a stunning, competitive, and exhilarating environment. Riders face the same gruelling climbs, descents, and terrain as the pro’s. The opportunity to conquer these legendary roads, often lined with cheering spectators, captures the dream of riding like a pro.

Additionally, the Étape’s organisation mirrors professional races themselves, with well-planned logistics, closed roads, private feed zones provided by Sportive Breaks, and enthusiastic support staff. Cyclists also relish the camaraderie, uniting with thousands of riders from diverse backgrounds to test their limits. Beyond its physical challenge, the Étape provides breath taking scenery through France’s most picturesque regions.

The Etape du Tour 2025 is also revered for its inclusivity, with the Etape du Tour Femmes offering the opportunity for female cyclists to ride an actual stage of the Tour de France like the pro’s. Experiencing the same level of organisation, accommodation and physical challenges as the pro race, the Etape du Tour Femmes breaks boundaries and is a great opportunity to female cyclists to achieve something truly special in the cycling world.

For cyclists, the Étape du Tour is more than just a ride—it’s a chance to live a day in the wheel tracks of greatness. Sportive Breaks offer a number of different packages for anybody wishing to take part in the Etape du Tour, as well as offering an option to take part in the race alongside a larger tour of the Alps.
