It's official, on Thursday 24 July 2025, Courchevel will host the end of the 18th stage of the 112th Tour de France, marking the return of the Grande Boucle to its high altitude peaks.
After the spectacular finish in 2023 on the altiport track at 2,007 metres, the peloton will be back to tackle one of the most feared and emblematic climbs on the route: the Col de la Loze, culminating at 2,304 metres.
This pass, located in the Vanoise massif, has become a benchmark climb since its first inclusion in the Tour in 2020, when Colombian Miguel Angel Lopez won the 28.4 kilometre climb at an average speed of 6 %.

The Col de la Loze, which will be converted into an all-cycling greenway by Courchevel town council in 2019, is now one of the Tour de France's not-to-be-missed routes, offering amateur and professional cyclists alike a major challenge in a spectacular setting.
Courchevel, land of cycling
The stage, which starts in Vif, near Grenoble, promises to be decisive in the final week of the race, particularly in the battle for the prestigious polka-dot jersey, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. One of the toughest climbs, it could shake up the rankings and seal the ambitions of the best climbers.
