The Final Week in the Alps
The final week in the Alps culminates with three mountain stages. Stage 18 on Thursday sees a high-altitude Alpine finish at Orcières-Merlette near Gap. From our base in Le Bourg d’Oisans we will be in reach of the stage. Stage 19 on Friday is a 128km stage from Gap to Alpe d’Huez, using its traditional ascent. This is the first of a double ascent of Alpe d’Huez, a Tour rarity last seen in 1979. Stage 20 takes place between Le Bourg d’Oisans and Alpe d’Huez, allowing us to see the start and the finish climb. Climbs included are Col de la Croix de Fer, Col du Galibier and the Col de Sarenne before the final ascent.
On Sunday we will offer you the option to go to Paris for one night and see the final stage on the Champs Elysees.
Stage 18 – Thursday July 23: Mountain Stage Voiron to Orcières-Merlette
The first of the Alpine tests, ending with a summit finish at Orcières-Merlette near Gap. A historic climb, it will set the tone for the GC battle and will start to reveal who has the legs for the final showdown.
Stage 19 – Friday July 24: Gap to Alpe d’Huez via Col d’Ornon
A short but intense stage featuring the Col d’Ornon and the iconic Alpe d’Huez. The 21 hairpin bends will be a battleground for climbers and a spectacle for fans.
Stage 20 – Saturday July 25: Queen Stage with 5,600m Elevation Gain
The most brutal stage of the race and also the stage chosen to be the 2026 Etape du Tour on Sunday 19 July. Riders face the Col de la Croix de Fer, Col du Télégraphe, Col du Galibier and a final ascent via Col de Sarenne to Alpe d’Huez. This stage will be decisive for the general classification.
Stage 21 – Sunday July 26: Paris Finale with Montmartre Climbs
Instead of the traditional Champs-Élysées sprint, the finale features three ascents of Rue Lepic in Montmartre. The cobbled climb adds drama and flair, with the race concluding beneath the Arc de Triomphe.
