This package is aimed at those who want to live the magic of the Tour de France and dream of climbing where legends were created.
You will follow the "route du Tour" during the Alpine mountains stages – and be challenged with 11% grade climbs, while still enjoying the serenity of the surrounding terrain. All along the way, you will enjoy exclusive features that are only available through an official Tour de France tour operator for a limited number of guests
Not only will you have access to private zones both at the start and the finish of stages, but you will also be able to ride a stage of the Tour de France the same day as the pros, and experience the thrill of a cheering crowd while you climb.
You will eventually leave the "route du Tour" to climb one of the "monster" climbs of the French Alps: the Alpe d’Huez, and to make this experience a true and fulfilling one you will be riding one of the best "VELO" in the world.
Highlights:
- 2 exclusive accesses to the technical zones on day 2 (finish area, stage Tournus / Station des Rousses) and day 6 (start area, stage Chambéry / Gap).
- Ride the last 80 km of stage 7 (Tournus / Station des Rousses) same day as
the pros and access the private finish area.

- See the crucial Alpine mountain stages
- Option: attend the Tour de France’s arrival in Paris on a grandstand seat in
