MAKE YOUR RIDE COUNT FOR WILDLIFE
Join Wild Tomorrow’s “Team Elephant” for L’Etape du Tour de France in 2026!
Live the legend of the Tour de France, riding on the same routes and under the same conditions as the professionals. L'Etape du Tour de France takes place in mid-July 2026 (date to be announced). It’s a challenging ride for non-professional riders, a sporting challenge and travel adventure!
The 33rd edition of the race is set to thrill you — we're talking about 131 km and 4500 meters of elevation gain 💪 through five breathtaking iconic Alpine climbs. Just days before the pros hit the same climbs, you’ll enjoy this unique experience: riding like a pro on roads 100% closed to traffic. Get ready to have your heart rate soar over those hills and moved by the stunning scenery.
Bibs for this event sell out in 24hrs, but you can secure a guaranteed place as a Wild Tomorrow Team Elephant charity rider!
The route that will take you up the Alps and burn those legs includes the Côte d'Héry-sur-Ugine (11.3km at 5.1% gradient🔥), the Col des Saisies (13.7km at 6.4%), the Col du Pré (12.6km at 7.7%), and finally for desert the Cormet de Roselend (5.9km at 6.3%) for a spectacular finish at La Plagne and its 19.1km climb at 7.2%. It will all be well worth it! Learn more about this incredible cycling event here.
