Etape du Tour 2025 with Sportive Breaks
Etape du Tour de France 2025
Sportive Breaks is your Tour Operator for the Etape du Tour. We offer guaranteed entry with or without a travel package. Packages offer a choice of hotels at the start or near the finish, transport, guided warm up rides, a mechanic service and private feed stations on the route. Additional services are airport transfers from Geneva airport and a bike rental service.
The 2025 Etape du Tour de France will take place on Sunday 20 July 2025 departing from Albertville in the Savoie region of France. The stage of the 2025 Tour de France that has been chosen is Stage 19 which takes place on Friday 25 July between Albertville and the ski resort of La Plagne.
The route of the 33rd edition of L’Étape du Tour de France, which will be held on 20 July 2025 is identical to 19 of the Tour de France, between Albertville and the ski town of La Plagne. The route is 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.
The Tour de France has previously visited La Plagne on four occasions, most recently in 2002, although the most famous stage finish here was undoubtedly the 1987 showdown between Stephen Roche and Pedro Delgado. More recently, the Col du Pré – Cormet de Roselend – La Plagne sequence was used in the 2021 Critérium du Dauphiné.
The 2025 edition of L’Étape du Tour de France promises to include some great climbs and some spectacular scenery, so you should prepare rigorously for the challenge that lies ahead.

2025 Etape du Tour - Albertville to La Plagne
Sportive Breaks is an Official Premium Tour Operator of the Etape du Tour 2025, which will take place on Sunday 20 July.
2025 Etape du Tour
Sportive Breaks offer guaranteed entry without the need to wait for the entry system to open. We offer hotel packages for 3 nights with a selection of hotels at the start in Albertville or close to the finish area in the valley towns of La Lechere and Brides Les Bains so you are perfectly placed for the start and finish of the 2025 Etape. Our packages include guided rides, mechanic services and staff support throughout the weekend. Airport transfers and bike rental are also available as extras.
2025 Etape du Tour 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 Etape du Tour is one of the world’s toughest amateur cycling events. During the event you ride the exact same route as the riders of the Tour de France just days later. Sportive Breaks are the No1 Tour Operator for the Etape du Tour. Every year we offer the best travel packages with guaranteed Etape du Tour entry and hotels in prime locations. As well as hotels and the entry, our local team of guides, drivers and bike mechanics provide our riders with a fantastic experience including guided warm-up rides and private feed stations. In addition, we also offer airport transfers, bike rental and special events such as meal nights and party nights.
The 2025 Etape du Tour will take place in Albertville on Sunday 20 July. The start is in Albertville and the finish is in the ski town of La Plagne, located approximately 50km to the southeast of Albertville and at a elevation of 1,900m. Stage 19 of the 2025 Tour de France is 130km long, with 4 main climbs; Cote d’Hery-sur-Ugine, Col des Saisies, Col du Pré – Cormet de Roselend and La Plagne.
The finish is situated in La Plagne. To reach the finish line of the Etape you will need to conquer the final 18km climb, averaging 7.5%. The last few kilometres are especially demanding as you approach La Plagne Village. The gradient increases slightly here, and fatigue from the day and the final climb may have set in, but the reward of the crowds at the finish line and the stunning views of the surrounding mountains will push you through to the end!
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 us as your own support team.

More About the Etape du Tour
Cyclist Magazine rode the 2023 Etape du Tour with us – read more here
Our team have been present at the last 15 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 2025 Tour de France. The 2025 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
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.
