Etape du Tour

This year’s Etape du Tour will take place entirely in the French departement of Haute Savoie, starting on the outskirts of Geneva, in Annemasse, and crossing 5 classified cols (including HC Joux Plane) before plunging to the finish line in the ski town of Morzine.

Your epic day begins in Annemasse, where you quickly start climbing shortly after crossing the start line. In the first 65 km you will climb 4 cols (3 classified), before attacking the last two mountains of the day – the Ramaz and the mighty Joux Plane. You’ll want your wits about you after crossing the last col because your finish comes after a final descent of over 10km.

• Col de Saxel: 4.3km / 4.6%
• Col de Cou: 7km / 7.4%
• Col du Feu: 5.8km / 7.8%
• Col de la Ramaz: 13.9km / 7.1%
• Col de Joux Plane: 11.6km / 8.5%
