What is L’Étape du Tour de France?

You’ll face some of the Tour’s most legendary mountain climbs – Col de la Croix de Fer, Col du Télégraphe, and Col du Galibier. The final climb to Alpe d’Huez, via the rarely used Col de Sarenne, will make this a truly special stage, one where the professionals may well be battling for the yellow jersey just a few days later.

With its 170km distance and 5,400 m of elevation gain, L’Étape du Tour de France 2026 stands out as one of the toughest editions in recent years. It is a demanding challenge that requires intense training to cross the finish line within the allotted time.
