Tour de France 2026 route overview

21 stages

The 2026 Tour de France route opens with a Barcelona team time trial before moving quickly through the Pyrenees, Massif Central, Vosges, Jura and Alps. The route keeps GC tension live across three weeks rather than waiting for one late reveal.

Key reference points are the early mountain finish at Les Angles, Gavarnie-Gedre in the Pyrenees, the Evian-les-Bains to Thonon-les-Bains individual time trial, Orcieres-Merlette, and the back-to-back Alpe d'Huez finishes before Paris.
