Tour de France 2022 route: Every stage assessed for bruising 109th edition

Updated 19/07/2022 at 18:01 GMT

A Danish Grand Depart, forays into Belgium and Switzerland, the Arenberg cobbles, the return of Alpe d’Huez, and a long time trial on the penultimate day all feature at the 2022 Tour de France. More summit finishes than sprints, six breakaway days, an additional two punchy uphill finishes, and 53.9km of racing against the clock, makes for one of the most challenging courses in recent years.

Tour de France 2022 stage-by-stage guide, route maps and profiles

The 2022 Tour de France begins in Copenhagen on Friday 1 July and finishes in Paris on Sunday 24 July, where Slovenian superstar Tadej Pogacar hopes to be wearing yellow and be crowned champion for the third year in a row.

Standing in his way is the sheer strength and depth of Dutch team Jumbo-Visma , who carry multiple threats including Pogacar’s national teammate Primoz Roglic and last year’s Tour runner-up, Jonas Vingegaard. Ineos Grenadiers are without their leading light Egan Bernal, the 2019 champion who is still recovering from injury, but they do have the in-form Geraint Thomas fresh from winning the Tour de Suisse, as well as potential stage winners Adam Yates and Tom Pidcock.

Here is a stage-by-stage look at this year’s route.

Stage 1, Friday 1 July: individual time trial, Copenhagen, 13.2km

The Tour usually begins on Saturday but the transfer from this year’s opening three stages in Copenhagen to northern France means an early rest day and a Friday start to accommodate it. A flat time trial through the streets of Copenhagen opens the show with plenty of intricate tight corners, but given it is only over 13km there shouldn’t be huge time gaps created among the leaders. Even so, the pure climbers will be conscious to minimise losses here.

Stage 2, Saturday 2 July: Roskilde-Nyborg, 202.5km

This long stage could prove pivotal as the peloton traces Denmark’s northern coastline, where crosswinds could split the back and put a serious dent in the hopes of those on the wrong side. Three categorised climbs feature in the middle of the stage before what is set to be a spectacular finale across the Great Belt Bridge.

Stage 3, Sunday 3 July: Vejle-Sonderborg, 182km

Stage three looks like a classic breakaway day before a bunch sprint finish between the serious fast men, with the likes of Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Soudal), Fabio Jakobsen (Quickstep), Dylan Groenewegen (BikeExchange-Jayco) and Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Fenix) sharpening their elbows as they battle for the win. It closes out the Danish jaunt before a transfer day to France.

Stage 4, Tuesday 5 July: Dunkirk-Calais, 171.5km

The first stage in France couldn’t get much close to Britain, and fans might take the opportunity to nip across the Channel. There are five category four climbs dotted through the stage but nothing sharp enough to deter the sprinters, so long as they can keep up with any early breakaway. Strong winds could be a factor, too.

Stage 5, Wednesday 6 July: Lille-Arenberg Porte du Hainault, 157km

This is the Paris-Roubaix stage, with 19km of cobbles across 11 perilous sections towards the end of a hilly day which are likely to claim a few injuries but could also offer up a chance to attack for those brave enough to try it. A one-day classics master like Mathieu van der Poel could thrive in these kind of conditions.

Stage 6, Thursday 7 July: Binche-Longwy, 220km

A lumpy finish to this stage is likely to knock any sprinters out of contention and offer up the win to anyone brave enough to speed down the descent from the category three Cote de Pulventeux which lurks close to the end of what will be a long day. Peter Sagan won in Longwy in 2017.

Stage 7, Friday 8 July: Tomblaine-La Planche des Belles Filles, 176.5km

The first mountain-top finish is a modern Tour de France classic: La Planche des Belle Filles, where Chris Froome won in 2012 and Tadej Pogacar took control of the 2020 edition. “The Plank” gets steeper as it rises, finishing on a 24% gradient, and by the end of a gruelling day we will have a good idea of who, if anyone, can challenge Pogacar for his crown.

Stage 8, Saturday 9 July: Dole-Lausanne, 186.5km

Another day for the puncheurs like Van der Poel – and one Julian Alaphilippe would have loved had he been fit for this Tour. The three categorised climbs, the sharp descent from Col de Petra Felix all leading to an uphill finish: this day will have been earmarked in the schedule by those teams chasing hilly stage wins.

Stage 9, Sunday 10 July: Aigle-Chatel, 193km

The first proper mountain stage heads to Switzerland where a couple of category one climbs await. If a break stays clear then someone with strong climbing legs can get the job done, but they will also need good technical skills on the fast descents – Ineos’s Adam Yates could be a contender.

Stage 10, Tuesday 12 July: Morzine-Megeve, 148.5km

After the second rest day, the peloton returns to a familiar route from Morzine to Megeve via another dip into Switzerland which is likely to be contested by a breakaway, with the main GC contenders conserving energy for the intimidating days ahead.

Stage 11, Wednesday 13 July: Albertville-Col du Granon, 152km

An eyewatering route for riders but a mouthwatering day in store for fans, as three tough climbs await at the second half of the stage which could provide a platform in the clouds for a battle between the general classification contenders. The Col du Telegraphe (11.9 km, 7.1%), Col du Galibier (17.7km, 6.9%) and Col du Granon (11.3 km, 9.2%) will drain even strong legs and, if he’s feeling fresh, Pogacar could chose this moment to hurt his rivals. The Galibier marks the highest point of the race at 2,642m, and the first man over will win the Souvenir Henri Desgrange.

Stage 12, Thursday 14 July: Briançon-Alpe d’Huez, 165.5km

On Bastille Day, French fans will be hoping one of their men can deliver on the iconic Alpe d’Huez. Thibaut Pinot and David Gaudu, both of Groupama-FDJ, are the most likely French hopes but any one of the big GC contenders could make their move here on what will be a memorable day.

Stage 13, Friday 15 July, Bourg d’Oisans-Saint Etienne, 193km

A transition from the Alps to the Massif hills which should open opportunities for those who have punching power in the legs as well as a sharp sprint finish for what is a flat run into the line.

Stage 14, Saturday 16 July: Saint Étienne-Mende, 192.5km

Another hilly day but some slightly more demanding climbs should see the stage victory fall into the hands of a rider with some climging legs, like Ineos’s Adam Yates. A day that is unlikely to shake up the main general classification contenders.

Stage 15, Sunday 17 July: Rodez-Carcassonne, 202.5km

An in-between stage which will be perfectly set up for the sprinters should they still be in the Tour and should they reach the finish in contention. But the various hilly sections could still be enough to keep the fast men at bay and offer the win to a breakaway group.

Stage 16, Tuesday 19 July: Carcassonne-Foix, 178.5km

The first stage of the Pyrenees is not too brutal and is unlikely to elicit much action at the top of the general classification. Instead it is likely to serve up a battle for the stage victory which will suit a skilful climber like Romain Bardet, or Primoz Roglic if his GC ambitions allow.

Stage 17, Wednesday 20 July: Saint Gaudens-Peyragudes, 130km

Four categorised climbs culminate atop Peyragudes where there could be a fight for crucial yellow jersey seconds at the finish. The likes of Pogacar, Roglic, Thomas and Vingegaard could all win a demanding stage like this one and stamp their authority on the general classification.

Stage 18, Thursday 21 July: Lourdes-Hautacam, 143.2km

Not a long route but three gruelling climbs including the hors categorie Col d’Aubisque and a summit finish. It looks built for another GC battle and the winner here is probably taking hold of the yellow jersey until Paris, if they were not already wearing it.

Stage 19, Friday 22 July: Castelnau-Magnoac-Cahors, 188.5km

A penultimate day for the sprinters, which will be well-earned for those fast men who have made it through the Alps and Pyrenees. The main GC contenders will look to conserve energy and their bodies for the decisive time trial to follow.

Stage 20, Saturday 23 July: Lacapelle Marival-Rocamadour individual time trial, 40.7km

It may all be a formality by this point with a chunky advantage for the overall leader already assured, but if the GC is tight enough then it will all come down to this: 40.7km, a long indivudal time trial with a couple of testing hills. The stage 20 ITT has become a regular feature over the past few years and threw up a dramatic finale in 2020 when Roglic suffered and Pogacar powered to victory. Organisers will hope for more of the same.

Stage 21, Sunday 24 July: Paris La Defense-Champs Elysees, 116km

The procession to the centre of Paris, where the jersey winners will be crowned and the sprinters will get one final contest for the prestige of victory on the Champs-Elysees. Oh how Mark Cavendish would have loved to add to his collection of wins here.

Tour de France : Final stage of glory in Paris

Inspiration

Paris Cycling Tourism Sporting Activities

Reading time: 0 min Published on 4 January 2023, updated on 16 April 2024

The final sprint of the Tour de France always takes place on Paris’ famous avenue. On 18 July, as it has every year since 1975, the last stage of the famous cycling race will end on the Champs-Élysées.

With 3,383 kilometres for the legs to tackle and some 403,000 pedal strokes over three weeks, taking part in the Tour de France is no easy task.

In view of the conclusion of the 21st and final stage of the Grand Boucle , the peloton will give it all they’ve got. Before parading in the capital, the riders will have sweated to climb the 30 passes of the 2021 race, rising in their saddles to pick up momentum and clenching their teeth in the vertiginous descents.

The Champs-Élysées in all its majesty

From Brittany to the Alps, from the Occitanie to the Pyrenees, the riders will have been so focused on their performance that they won’t have soaked up much of the photogenic landscapes of France, broadcast across 100 TV channels.

But by the end of the efforts, what a reward: the majestic Champs-Élysées, with the blue-white-red wake of the famous Patrouille de France fly-past. Nobody else has such a claim on the famous avenue except the French football team, winner of the World Cup in 2018.

Standing on the podium at the bottom of the famous Parisian avenue, with the setting sun at the Arc de Triomphe and Grande Arche de la Défense as a backdrop, the winner of the Tour will have – like all his fellow riders – accomplished the Parisian ritual.

Established in 1975, this involves riding up and down the Champs-Élysées eight times, totalling 1,910 legendary metres separating the obelisk of the Place de la Concorde from the star of the Place Charles-de-Gaulle.

A ride beside the Louvre Pyramid

Seen from above, the spectacle of the peloton winding like a long ribbon decorated around the Arc de Triomphe is magical. From the pavements lining the route of this final sprint, the enthusiasm of the public pushes the riders on through the Quai des Tuileries, Place des Pyramides and Rue de Rivoli in Paris.

Will they take a look as they go past? Not sure. Almost lying on their handlebars, they traditionally take this last stage at a crazy pace, overlooking the cobblestones and prestigious landmarks around. Louis Vuitton, Guerlain, Ladurée and even, recently, the Galeries Lafayette, make up the exclusive backdrop of the peloton’s arrival on the Champs-Élysées.

Among the live support or behind your TV screen, it’s you who will enjoy all these beauties... happy as a spectator of the Tour!

Tour de France organizers may be avoiding Paris for the first time ever, due to the Olympic Games being held there, but the final three days of the race will be suspenseful right up to the finish in Nice. Stage 19 will see the climbers go all out for success, with 4,500 meters of climbing in store.

The difficulty is further heightened by the fact that all three of the day’s climbs are over 2,000 meters, the level at which altitude really starts to have an effect.

The first half hour of racing is on rolling roads but from there the peloton will begin the climb of the Col du Vars. At 18.9km in length, it averages 5.7 percent but does top 10 percent early on. It summits at 2,105 meters and then the riders will plunge downhill for 22km before starting the Cime de la Bonette. This 23km brute is 6.9 percent average and ascends to 2,797 meters, the highest of this year’s Tour.

A 40km descent takes the riders to the day’s final climb, that of Isola 2000. It is another testing one, averaging 7 percent over 16.4km up to the finish.

The view of Tour de France race director Christian Prudhomme: “The menu for this ultra-mountain stage could well make you dizzy, but it’ll also whet the appetite of the very best climbers. Although the stage is less than 150km long, the riders will climb above 2,000 meters on three occasions.

“The biggest test the climb to the summit of La Bonette, the highest road in France at an altitude of 2,802 meters. Its 360-degree panorama is breath-taking.”

Tour de France 2022 route: All the rumours ahead of the big reveal

Cobbles, altitude, Alpe d’Huez and another final time trial on the cards next July

Update: Tour de France 2022 route revealed The 2 022 Tour de France i s set to pay a visit to the cobblestones of P aris-Roubaix and return to Alpe d’Huez for the first time in four years, with the Alps followed by the Pyrenees and another penultimate-day time trial to decide the yellow jersey ahead of the finale in Paris. 

The route for the 109th edition of the Tour de France will officially be unveiled in Paris on Thursday but, as ever, details have been slipping through the cracks. 

Regional French media outlets are often keen to report possible stage starts and finishes in their localities, while hotel bookings in certain towns can give an indication of the yellow juggernaut being set to pass through.

Thomas Vergouwen, who runs the Velowire website, has become the leading light in deciphering all this information to produce an overall picture of the route and its key points before Christian Prudhomme reaches the lectern in the Palais des Congrès. 

In recent years, the general picture has proved very reliable and this year looks set to continue that trend, with more detail and a more precise schedule than ever.

Grand Départ 

The 2022 Tour de France will start in Copenhagen , Denmark, on July 1. This is already official, as are the details of the three stages that will take place on Danish soil during the Grand Départ, before the race transfers to France. 

This was supposed to be the start of this year’s edition of the Tour de France, but coronavirus pandemic and the European Championships in football forced the organisers to scrap that plan and push it back to 2022.

The race will open with a flat 13-kilometre time trial in the Danish capital, which, with the first yellow jersey on the line, could tempt world champion Filippo Ganna into a Tour de France debut. The following two days feature traditional road stages, where the terrain is flat but the wind could have a say, making for a typically tense and nervy start to the race. Stage 2, from Roskilde, heads down a long stretch of coast and then crosses a 18km bridge over the Great Belt strait to the finish in Nyborg.

Stage 3 takes place on the western flank of Denmark, starting in Vejle and making its way down to Sønderborg, where a bunch sprint is the likely outcome. 

Into France, and maybe Belgium

Following the three Danish stages, the race will transfer to France and, given the distance involved, there will be an additional and early rest day to facilitate this. Having started a day earlier than usual on the Friday, this allows the rest day to take place on the traditional Monday slot. 

According to Velowire , the race will take the shortest trip possible from Copenhagen to France, with the race set to resume on the Tuesday in the very north east corner of France. This opens the door for a Classics-favoured first week, with a trip to the Roubaix pavé and an excursion into Belgium. 

The Voix du Nord newspaper, which covers the Nord region of France, has the most information, reporting that stage 4 will finish in Calais, possibly starting just along the coast in Dunkirk, although details of the parcours remain scarce. 

There is a stronger indication that the following day will be raced on cobblestones, starting in the centre of Lille and heading for Wallers-Arenberg, which is the heart of the Paris-Roubaix route. If so, the stage would almost inevitably incorporate some of the cobbled sectors from the Hell of the North, albeit in the opposite direction.

The Tour last visited the pavé in 2018, when John Degenkolb won the stage , while previous visits took place in 2015, 2014 - when the race was blown apart - and 2010.

The race is then set to cross the border into Belgium. Multiple outlets have reported that Binche will host a stage start, and that it could come with a finish in Longwy, which is back in France but a stone’s throw from the border with Belgium and also Luxembourg. This is said to be stage 6 and, while the details of the route itself are unclear, it would likely be a day for the puncheurs, with hilly terrain on offer in Wallonia and an uphill finish in Longwy that was used on the race’s last visit in 2017, where Peter Sagan got the better of Julian Alaphilippe. 

The Planche des Belles Filles, in the nearby Vosges Mountains, has fast become a fixture of the Tour de France and has long been rumoured to be on the both the men’s route and the all-new women’s race for 2022.  L’Est Républicain recently reported that this would indeed be the case, with the first true summit finish of the Tour thus coming on stage 7.

La Planche des Belles Filles was first used in 2012 and returned in 2014, 2017, 2019, and 2020, when Tadej Pogačar snatched the overall title in an uphill time trial. 2019 saw the finish line positioned on a steep gravel track beyond the traditional summit but it’s not clear if that would be repeated next year. 

After the early stages, the picture is that the race would then head towards the Alps via Switzerland. Swiss outlet RTS reports a stage 8 finish in Lausanne after a start in Dole, in what could be a totally flat stage or a late climb and descent if it approaches via the small Jura mountain range. 

The same publication reports that the following stage would start in Aigle, home to the UCI, and finish in the French ski resort of Châtel, which is backed up in regional French paper Le Dauphiné Libéré . There are plenty of nearby climbs to make a mountain stage but, given the proximity of the two towns, a time trial - which would be around 30km and largely uphill - cannot be completely ruled out. 

The race would then pause for its second rest day, and Velowire reports that this will be in Morzine, with the Haute-Savoie town - best known for hosting finishes down off the Col de Joux Plane - to host the start of stage 10 the following morning. The finish is said to be in Mégève, with the Col de Colombière and Col des Aravis a couple of the options en route. 

While stage 10 would likely feature a descent towards the finish, reports suggest a spectacular set of back-to-back summit finishes as the Alps take a leading role in the 2022 Tour.

First up is a high-altitude finish all the way up at 2,400 metres on the Col du Granon, reported by various media outlets. The climb, which measures 11km and 9 per cent from the south, has only been used once before, all the way back in 1986. Only the nearby Col du Galibier has hosted a finish at higher altitude. 

There are similarly multiple reports of a return to Alpe d’Huez, a staple of the Tour de France but not seen since Geraint Thomas’ victory in the yellow jersey in 2018. This stage would take place on Bastille Day, making for a festival atmosphere on the famous 21 hairpins. 

Over to the Pyrenees

After the Alpine feast, reports suggest the race will then head over towards the Pyrenees, with the two mountain ranges linked in traditional fashion by a series of transition stages across the south of France. According to Velowire ’s outline, this would make for flatter stages on both the middle weekends of the race, which are usually reserved for the most attractive mountain stages. 

Either way, newspaper Le Progrès reports that the Tour will leave the Alps and head for a finish in the city of Saint Etienne on stage 13, before heading west to Mende the following day. That would be more of a medium-mountain day, with the short steep climb to the airport, once associated with Laurent Jalabert, last used in 2018, when Omar Fraile won, and before that in 2015 when Steve Cummings memorably played Romain Bardet and Thibaut Pinot off each other to win MTN-Qhubeka’s first stage on Mandela Day. 

There are no details yet on the following stage but it would likely take the race to the base of the Pyrenees and, according to Velowire ’s schedule, it would be on the Sunday ahead of the second rest day. 

There is similar uncertainty surrounding the first day of the final week, with Foix referenced as a possible finish location for stage 16, but reports suggest another helping of back-to-back summit finishes in the Pyrenees as well as the Alps. La Dépêche du Midi and France Bleu Occitannie have both indicated that the race will feature a showpiece finale at Peyragudes, using the spectacularly steep altiport runway made famous by the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies. This was used in 2017, when Romain Bardet won and Mikel Landa rode away from his team leader Chris Froome, drawing comparisons with the way Froome had ridden clear of Wiggins further down the mountain on the Col de Peyresourde in 2012. 

The second summit finish is said to be at Hautacam, which, like Peyragudes, is around 1,500 metres in altitude. The traditional route up is 13.5km at an irregular gradient that averages out to 7.8 per cent, and has usually been preceded by the mighty Col du Tourmalet, as when Vincenzo Nibali won on the last visit in 2014.

According to Velowire , the race would then leave the Pyrenees but the general classification could yet swing, with another penultimate-day time trial on the cards. This would be the third year in a row and the fifth time in six years that this format has been employed for the final say in the destination of the yellow jersey. 

Stage 19 would take the race away from the mountains – with Cahors referenced as a possible finish town – for what would likely be a flat or rolling stage where breakaways have often found fertile ground at such a late juncture.

The stage 20 time trial appears to have emerged not through newspaper reports but a Facebook post from a group of local construction workers who apparently weren’t aware of the need to keep things under wraps. La Dépêche du Midi picked up on the report and suggests a race against the clock from Lacapelle-Marival to Rocamadour, around 30km in length on rolling terrain. 

Stage 21 is the traditional final-day procession into Paris, followed by laps of the Champs-Elysées and a final sprint ahead of the podium ceremonies.
