About the event
L’Etape du Tour de France 2025 is the official sportive of the Tour de France and therefore arguably the biggest and most prestigious amateur ride in the world.
Just a few days before the pros take on the penultimate stage of the Tour de France, you will take on the legendary cols between Albertville and La Plagne! The unique route will take you up the legendary slopes of the Alps: the Côte d'Héry-sur-Ugine, the Col des Saisies, the Col du Pré, the Cormet de Roselend and then a spectacular finish at La Plagne.
With 131km, 4,500m of ascent and 5 breathtaking climbs to conquer, taking on a Tour de France route is something you’ll never forget. You’ll ride on closed roads with thousands of other cyclists, getting as close as possible to riding Le Tour itself!
