L'Etape du tour

THE GREATEST SPORTIVE IN THE WORLD

L'étape series ultimate challenge

On the same route, under the same conditions, …

Since 1993, L’Étape du Tour de France is offering to more than 16,000 cyclists every year the opportunity to live the Tour de France legend.

19 July 2026

With 170 km and 5,400 m of elevation gain on the program, 16,000 amateur cyclists will experience the unique thrill of the Tour de France the 19th of July by riding Stage 20 of the Tour de France, connecting Le Bourg-d’Oisans to Alpe d’Huez.

Participants will 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.
