Etape du Tour 2027 Route Reveal

The route for the 2027 Etape du Tour has been revealed.

Announced at this afternoon’s presentation of the 2027 Tour de France route, the 35th edition of L’Etape du Tour will take place on 11 July 2027.

The course follows stage 11 of the 2027 Tour and will take place three days before the peloton arrives. Entrants can look forward to another trip to the Alps, starting in Cluses in Haute Savoie and finishing in the ski resort of Les Saisies.

Going by numbers alone, the route is perhaps slightly less formidable than the monster edition of 2026 – but with five major climbs it has all the ingredients for an epic challenge.

“From the very first kilometers, you’ll be thrown straight into the action with the climb to Col de la Colombière (15.9 km at 7%), before crossing the Aravis mountain range and heading through the Arly Valley towards the Beaufortain region,” say the launch notes.

“Make sure you save some energy for the finale. After the stunning Col du Pré, with its incredible views over Lac de Roselend, you’ll face the brutal climb to Bisanne (12.4 km at 8.3%), the final major challenge before crossing the finish line in Les Saisies.”

Entries open on Monday 2 November at 2pm French time (1pm UK). Entry starts at €185 rising to €285 if you want the Castelli event jersey and a medal.

Standard entry includes an atmospheric day’s riding on the Etape’s closed roads, with rider timing and mechanical support, and feed stations including a pasta party at the finish.
