Etape du Tour with Love Velo
Last year’s Etape du Tour gave you the chance to ride in the tracks of legends, replicating Stage 19 of the Tour de France. Riders took on a breathtaking 130km route, climbing a lung-busting 4,600m from Albertville to La Plagne. You powered up the Col des Saisies before dropping into the charming town of Beaufort. Then came the real test—an epic grind to the Col du Pré, followed by the stunning summit of the Cormet de Roseland. But the ride wasn’t over yet. The final push was a gruelling 19.1km ascent to La Plagne, averaging a punchy 7.2%.
We will be an official organiser of the Etape for 2026 so get in contact today if you want to ride the legend next year. The route and stage will likely be released in late October 2025.
