L’Alpe d’Huez

Located on the southern face of the Grandes Rousses range in Isère department, l’Alpe d’Huez remains the Tour’s marquee stage.

A resort dedicated to enjoying life, it is renowned for its sunny weather (three hundred days of sun a year), its state of the art infrastructures, its wide range of outdoor activities on snow and otherwise, and its calendar of artistic and sporting events of international scope.

Very much a Tour de France fixture, l’Alpe d’Huez has witnessed some of the most memorable exploits ever seen on the Grande Boucle. Many cycling greats, the likes of Coppi, Zoetemelk, Hinault, Pantani, and Armstrong, rose to the occasion for this legendary stage.
This year once again, for the 25th time, the 15 km climb will provide a unique showdown full of emotion, suspense and surprises.
