Overview

The Etape du Tour will take place on July 19th 2026 and it's going to be a classic! This incredible and unique event gives amateur riders the chance to ride a mountain stage of the Tour de France with closed roads, feed stations and and a wonderful sporting atmosphere. 170kms and more than 5000m of climbing await riders on a spectacular course starting in Bourg d'Oisans and culminating in l'Alpe d'Huez. Our Etape du Tour package includes accommodation, support and guaranteed entry to the event. Our experience of attending the event as well as our intimate knowledge of this part of the Alps means riders will be supported in the best way possible to create a seamless and memorable experience.
