It’s back! France's favourite sporting event will pass by on 24 July, 2025 as the pack cycle from Vif to Courchevel.

This mountain stage will see the riders set off from Vif, near Grenoble, to climb the Glandon pass. Just an hour after the start the pack will enter Oisans via the Romanche valley, passing through Gavet, Riouperous, Livet, then Allemond and Rivier d'Allemond, before setting off to tackle the Col du Glandon.

The 171km race promises some feats of strength and stamina:

  • ascent of the Col du Glandon, 21.7km at 5.1% gradient
  • ascent of the Col du Glandon, 19.2km at 7.9% gradient
  • ascent of the Col de la Loze, 26.2km at 6.5% gradient

A total of 5,500m of ascent will see this stage be merciless on the riders' legs.
