Etape-du-Tour in Annecy

Race stage 10 of the 2018 Tour de France through the Alps on closed roads. Ride the same stage as the pros! The stage includes 2km of dirt road and lots of mountain climbs. Our hotel is right on Lake Annecy just a mile or two from the start.

Ride the same stage as the pros. Cycle up storied French Alpine climbs and feel both the struggle and exhilaration of riding the Tour de France. This year’s ‘Etape’ starts in Annecy, where we are based with 15,000 feet (4.5km) of climbing including 2km of dirt road.

The roads will be closed to traffic as you wind your way through the Alps. Our hotel is right on Lake Annecy — a mile or two from the start. You ride: we’ll handle the logistics.
