Les Alpes Tour de France Experience

Genoa to Bastia • 15 July to 28 July 2026

This tour begins with three gentle days along the Mediterranean coast, including a day in the Cinque Terre region and one of the most beautiful coastal cycle paths in Europe. You will ride past pastel villages and open sea views before arriving in Monaco.

From there the journey enters the Alps. The route is inspired by Napoleon and carefully planned so you can witness the final mountain stages of the Tour de France up close. Expect a mix of glamorous coastal towns, quiet alpine roads and world famous climbs such as Alpe d’Huez and the Col du Galibier.

For riders who want a challenge and a true Tour de France atmosphere, this tour delivers a memorable blend of coast, mountains and cycling passion.
