The 2026 L’Étape du Tour de France and L’Étape du Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift will climb some of the Tour’s most iconic mountains, it was announced this week.
On the same day as the routes for the 2026 Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes were published, the race’s organisers, ASO, also revealed the routes of its two iconic closed-road sportives.
Both are open to men and women to ride, with L’Étape du Tour de France dating from 1993, while the Tour de France Femmes version started this year. The format is similar for both, with the Queen stage of the professional race being used for amateurs; anyone can sign up, but there are caps on numbers. You can already buy your place on the L’Étape du TDFF, while the Tour’s version opens on 3 November for registration.
