In the Alps, La Plagne sees double in 2025!

23 years after the Dutchman Michael Booberg won the Tour, La Plagne is proud to welcome back the legendary Grande Boucle in 2025. The Tour de France is back in force with two major events that will mark the summer.

On 20 July, cycling fans will set off on L'Etape du Tour in French Alps, a legendary event that allows almost 16,000 enthusiasts to ‘take the wheel’ of the professionals every year. This cyclosportive race is the only amateur race held on roads completely closed to traffic!

Five days later, on 25 July, the professional riders will cross the finish line at La Plagne after an epic stage from Albertville and the legendary Beaufortain passes.

A spectacular mountain stage

This 100% Savoyard stage, the last major battle in the mountains, promises a demanding 130km route with 4,500 metres of ascent before the return to the plains. The riders will climb four passes before tackling the final 19.1km, 24-turn climb to Plagne Villages, at an altitude of over 2,000 metres.

This stage is shaping up to be one of the most intense of the 2025 Tour de France, with the best climbers battling it out for victory. WillJonas Vingegaard be able to break down Tadej Pogačar, the indomitable Slovenian rider who has just been crowned world champion, on the 24 bends of the final climb? History is on the way.

To experience this show live is to feel all the intensity of the Grande Boucle: the effort of the riders, the adrenalin of the final kilometres and the electrifying atmosphere that reigns along the route.
