The 2027 Étape du Tour de France with Love Velo
The 2027 Étape du Tour de France promises another unforgettable opportunity to ride a full Tour de France stage on closed roads alongside thousands of fellow cyclists.
Whilst the route and host venue for 2027 are yet to be announced, demand for places is always exceptionally high. As an Official Tour Operator, Love Velo is able to offer guaranteed entry to the event, giving you complete peace of mind before entries are released to the general public.
You can secure your guaranteed place today with a fully refundable £200 per person deposit. Once the organisers announce the 2027 route and host location, we'll be in touch (expected in October) with our full range of accommodation and travel options. At that stage, you'll be able to choose the package that best suits you before confirming your booking with a further deposit.
Love Velo will once again offer a carefully selected range of accommodation, optional airport transfers, guided warm-up rides, mechanical support and our experienced event team to ensure you get the very best from your Étape du Tour weekend.
Secure your place today and be among the first to experience whatever incredible challenge the 2027 Étape du Tour has in store.

Your Etape Trip
Day By Day Etape Du Tour Challenge of the 2026 Event
Day 1 - Arrival
As part of your Love Velo package, you’ll be able to book airport transfers directly from Geneva or Lyon airport, making your journey to the Alps as smooth as possible. If you’re planning to drive to the event, we’ll recommend the best hotels with convenient parking, so you can relax knowing your car is safely stored nearby. Your bike can be stored securely at the hotel.
For those arriving early, it’s the perfect opportunity to collect your race number from the Expo before the Saturday rush. Our friendly Love Velo team will also be there to answer any questions and ensure your weekend starts smoothly.
Day 2 - EXPO & Race Registration
Today’s all about soaking up the excitement. You’ll register, explore the lively event village, and dive into the expo packed with top kit and cycling inspiration. We’ll also head out on a group ride, an easy spin to stretch the legs, meet your fellow riders, and get a feel for the road before the big day.
Day 3 - Race day
Race day, game face on.
Today begins bright and early, so breakfast will be served ahead of time at your hotel to make sure you’re well-fuelled for the ride.
The Étape du Tour sets off in staggered waves, with each rider allocated a specific start pen, wave, and entry time. These are determined by the event organisers and unfortunately cannot be changed by Love Velo, so please make sure you arrive at your pen within your assigned time slot.
The start is in Bourg d'Oisans, at the bottom of the Alpe and you will need to freewheel there from your hotel. Make sure you take plenty of warm clothes for the descent and Love Velo staff will be at the race pens taking your warm clothing if you don't want to ride with it.
Hopefully, you will have an incredible ride and fully experience what a superb event the Etape du Tour is.
Day 4 - Departure
Check out will be mid morning and we will be operating transfers again back to the airport.
