After a unique version of the Tour de France in 2024 (with the Tour finishing in Nice, rather than Paris), the 2025 version remains wholly in France \u2013 and will visit two of our favourite ski resorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 18 finishes in Courchevel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First up is Courchevel<\/a> on Thursday 24 July, with the stage finish at the Col de la Loze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stage 18 of the 2025 Tour will cross three major Alpine passes: the Col du Glandon (21.7 km at 5.1%), the Col de la Madeleine (19.2 km at 7.9%) and finally the Col de la Loze, with an altitude finish at 2304m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Col de la Loze has quickly become one of the legendary climbs of the Tour de France at 28.4 km long at an average of 6%. An old mountain path was converted in 2019 by Courchevel into a road reserved for cyclists to create this iconic route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was used for the first time in 2020 as the arrival of the 17th stage of the Tour, won by the Colombian Miguel Angel Lopez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total, this will be the fifth time that Courchevel has hosted the Tour de France after 1997, 2000, 2005, 2023 and 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
