It was expected, and now it’s here: the route for the [[2027 Tour de France]] was officially unveiled during the annual show at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, and although most of the route was already known through the rumors you may have come across over the past month here on Velowire, it wasn’t until this event that we truly learned the details of the various stages. The overall structure of the [[2027 Tour de France]] has been confirmed: after the start in the United Kingdom, Normandy and Brittany, a diagonal crossing toward the Alps—which will feature relatively easy stages—followed by a descent to Montpellier before heading into Occitanie and the Pyrenees for the finale, and finally the climb back to Paris.

Let’s take a look at the main highlights of this route, as well as the details of the various stages and their profiles.

The 2027 Tour de France Route by the Numbers

As usual, let’s first take a look at the numbers and statistics for this 114th Tour de France:

The Grand Départ in the United Kingdom

As you already know, the Grand Départ of this Tour de France will take place in the United Kingdom and will pass through three of the four nations that make up the United Kingdom.

This will be the 28th Grand Départ held abroad (following the first, which took place in Amsterdam in 1954) and the third Grand Départ in the United Kingdom, after London in 2007 and Yorkshire in 2014 (although the Tour de France had previously visited England for a stage around Plymouth in 1974 and for two stages—between Dover and Brighton and around Portsmouth—in 1994).

With the first stage starting in Edinburgh, this will be the northernmost Grand Départ in the history of the Tour de France, even further north than the start in Denmark, which was the previous northernmost Grand Départ.

The United Kingdom, then France

With these three countries visited in the United Kingdom, the [[2027 Tour de France]] will have a decidedly international start, but once the crossing is complete, the race will remain entirely in France, meaning that this 114th edition of the Grande Boucle will visit a total of four countries!

In France, the [[2027 Tour de France]] will visit 9 regions (out of 13, excluding overseas territories) and 31 departments (out of 96, excluding overseas territories).

The Tour de France remains as mountainous as ever

Even though at first glance one might think that the [[2027 Tour de France]] is less mountainous than usual, this is not the case. In fact, riders will accumulate elevation gain throughout the stages, reaching a total elevation gain of 53,450 m (compared to 54,450 m in the [[2026 Tour de France]]).

This 114th Tour de France will traverse four mountain ranges, in the following order: the Massif Central (5 mountain passes or climbs), the Jura (5 mountain passes or climbs), the Alps (10 mountain passes or climbs), and the Pyrenees (8 mountain passes or climbs), for a total of 28 mountain passes or climbs classified as Category 2, 1st, or hors catégorie (2 fewer than in 2026 but 2 more than in 2025). The highest point of the [[2027 Tour de France]] will be reached only on the 18th stage, at 2,215 m, at the summit of the Col du Portet, above Saint-Lary-Soulan.

Stage Types

The 21 stages of the [[2027 Tour de France]] are divided into:
  • 7 flat stages
  • 6 hilly stages
  • 6 mountain stages, including 3 with high-altitude finishes at the Grand Colombier, Les Saisies, and Saint-Lary-Soulan (Col du Portet)
  • 2 individual time trial stages, with a total distance of 71 km (38 km between Blois and Chambord for Stage 7 and 33 km around Toulouse for Stage 16)
  • with 3 rest days

Stage Cities—What’s New

The Tour de France continues to explore new locations, with no fewer than 9 of the 38 stage cities or sites making their debut (including 6 in the United Kingdom):
  • Edinburgh (start of Stage 1)
  • Carlisle (finish of Stage 1)
  • Keswick (start of Stage 2)
  • Liverpool (finish of Stage 2)
  • Welshpool (start of Stage 3)
  • Cardiff (finish of Stage 3)
  • Pontorson (start of Stage 5)
  • Les Saisies (finish of Stage 11)
  • Hasparren (start of Stage 19)

Sprints and Bonus Points

As has been the case in recent years (although a second sprint had been announced for the flat stages in 2026), there will be only one intermediate sprint on the course of each of the road stages of the Tour de France. Bonus sprints will also not be included in the [[2027 Tour de France]], during which time bonus seconds will be awarded only at the finish, with 10, 6, and 4 seconds, respectively, for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd-place finishers in the stage.

A significant distance

Prior to official approval (pre-race reconnaissance to come, validation of the precise routes by the prefecture, etc.), it is estimated that the 184 riders representing 23 teams in the [[2027 Tour de France]] will cover 3,479 kilometers (compared to 3,333 in 2026)!

Sports Prizes

2.3 million euros will be awarded to the various riders and teams, including 500,000 euros to the overall winner.

With this, the Tour de France is not experiencing inflation—quite the contrary—since in 2025, €2,577,731 was distributed, including €500,000 for the winner, and in 2026 the total amount was €2,574,991, which also included €500,000 for the winner.
Les partenaires des différentes récompenses
Among the sponsors of the various awards, only the sponsor of the White Jersey for Best Young Rider is changing, as the opticians Krys are stepping down—after 12 years of loyalty to this jersey—to make way for Sanofi, which promises to carry out awareness campaigns on health issues and scientific literacy in the context of the Tour de France.

Alongside Sanofi, LCL remains a partner for the Yellow Jersey in the general classification—with 40 years of loyalty to this jersey!—Škoda is the partner for the Green Jersey in the points classification, and E.Leclerc is the partner for the White Jersey with Red Polka Dots in the best climber classification. In addition to the jerseys, Continental continues to sponsor the stage victory prize, Century the Fierce Competitor Award, Basic Fit the team classification, and the Hauts-de-Seine Department the Best Support Rider Award.

The Grand Départ of the 2027 Tour de France

Operations for the Grand Départ in the United Kingdom will, of course, begin a little earlier in the week, in preparation for the race’s start on a Friday (instead of a Saturday):
  • Tuesday, June 29, 2027: Opening of the information desk and press center at the Edinburgh International Conference Center
  • Wednesday, June 30, 2027: presentation of the [[2027 Tour de France]] teams at Edinburgh Castle—and apparently, admission to this presentation will not be free but will require a fee this time
  • Friday, July 2, 2027: Stage 1 - Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 > Carlisle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
  • Saturday, July 3, 2027: Stage 2 - Keswick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 > Liverpool 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

1/ Friday, July 2, 2027 - Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 > Carlisle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 - 185 km

The first stage of the [[2027 Tour de France]] will start in Edinburgh, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and head south, with only one climb in the first half of the stage: the Côte de Melrose. This is where the race for the first polka-dot jersey in the King of the Mountains classification will take place, before finishing on flat terrain—crossing from Scotland into England about fifteen kilometers from the finish—and thus presenting a golden opportunity for the sprinters to claim the very first Yellow Jersey of this [[2027 Tour de France]], at the finish in Carlisle, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. The finish straight there, however, will be a slight uphill slope.
The profile of the first stage of the Tour de France 2027

2/ Saturday, July 3, 2027 - Keswick 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 > Liverpool 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 - 223 km

The second stage takes place entirely in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, starting in Keswick in the heart of the Lake District National Park; then, after passing through Lancaster, the riders will face a series of three climbs—the Jubilee Tower Climb (3.8 km at 6.1%), the Through of Bowland Climb (1.9 km at 5.2%), and the Waddington Fell Climb (3.4 km at 6.4%)—which could allow breakaway riders to make their move and put the polka-dot jersey back up for grabs. Further on, the riders will encounter a fourth climb, the Belmont Climb (2 km at 4%), and even further on, a fifth, the Parbold Climb (1.8 km at 5.6%). The summit of the latter is located 40 kilometers from the finish in Liverpool, where we could see a solo rider or a breakaway group battle it out for the stage victory, but it’s also possible that the sprinters will make a comeback to win this second stage as well at the end of the final straight, which is over 1 km long.
The profile of the second stage of the Tour de France 2027

3/ Sunday, July 4, 2027 - Welshpool 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 > Cardiff 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 - 223 km

Very close to England, just west of the border, the town of Welshpool (or Y Trallwng in Welsh) in Wales will be the starting point for this third and final stage of the Grand Départ in the United Kingdom. The stage will take place entirely in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, and with seven climbs on the route, it’s sure to be a challenge for the breakaway riders.

The action begins after about 80 kilometers with the Côte d’Epynt (3.7 km at 7.9%) and then, shortly after the halfway point, the riders will tackle the Côte de Bannau Brycheiniog (6.6 km at 3.5%). However, things really heat up in the final third of the stage, with five more climbs appearing regularly over the last 80 kilometers: the Côte de Rhigos (4.6 km at 5.8%), the Penrhys Climb (1.3 km at 10.1%), the Maerdy Climb (1.5 km at 8.7%), the Côte de Hengoed (700 m at 11%), and the Côte de Caerfili (2 km at 8.1%), whose summit is located 12.5 km from the finish in Cardiff (or Caerdydd in Welsh).

R1/ Monday, July 5, 2027 – rest day in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin

Naturally, from Cardiff, fans of the [[2027 Tour de France]] will need to travel to Poole to take the ferry to Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, where the first rest day is scheduled for Monday, July 5, 2027.

P&O Ferries states on its website that it is the Official Ferry Partner for the Grand Départ of the Tour de France United Kingdom 2027 (tentative) (sic) and states that it has reserved dedicated capacity on its ferries and exclusive rates for teams, sponsors, suppliers, and event participants traveling between the United Kingdom and Europe. However, under normal circumstances, P&O Ferries does not offer a route between Poole and Cherbourg, but only a Dover > Calais route (which could be useful for the 2027 Tour de France Femmes with Zwift, but not for the [[2027 Tour de France]]) and a Hull > Rotterdam route.

4/ Tuesday, July 6, 2027 – Cherbourg-en-Cotentin > Cherbourg-en-Cotentin – 171 km

After this transfer, the [[2027 Tour de France]] will settle permanently in France, beginning with a stage around Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, which is hosting the Tour de France for the 19th time.

From the start, the race heads west, following the coast toward Cap de La Hague and on to Les Pieux before crossing the peninsula via Bricquebec-en-Cotentin and Valognes, then rejoining the coast at Saint-Vaast-la Hougue, which they follow to Barfleur before heading back toward Quettehou and continuing on to Saint-Pierre-Église, where they tackle the day’s only major climb, the Côte du Becquet (900 m at 10%) less than 10 km from the finish, and finally return to Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, where the last 1,500 meters are also uphill at a 5% grade.

5/ Wednesday, July 7, 2027 - Pontorson > Plumelec - 178 km

Le Mont Saint-MichelPontorson, at the foot of Mont-Saint-Michel (which the riders will approach at the start of this stage) in southern Manche, will be the starting point for the 5th stage of the [[2027 Tour de France]].

After taking in this marvel, the riders will head south through Saint-Méen-le-Grand, where the intermediate sprint will take place, in tribute to Louison Bobet, among others. They will then head toward the finish in Plumelec, where the Côte de Cadoudal (1.7 km at 6.2%) will present the final challenge; however, as is customary for finishes there, a 13-km final circuit will mean the riders will have to climb it twice.

6/ Thursday, July 8, 2027 - Vannes > Angers - 193 km

In Morbihan, the riders will line up in Vannes for the start of the 6th stage of the [[2027 Tour de France]]. And this is where the sprinters will finally have a real opportunity to shine, as they cross Morbihan, Ille-et-Vilaine, Loire-Atlantique, and Maine-et-Loire, they’ll encounter a mostly flat course on wide, straight roads—though the final straight stretch of over 300 m in Angers will be on a slight uphill gradient.

7/ Friday, July 9, 2027 – Blois > Chambord – individual time trial – 38 km

Le Château de ChambordStage 7 could be called the “Castle Time Trial.” Indeed, after starting near the Château de Blois, each rider will follow a fast-paced route past the Château de Cheverny and enter the final 3 kilometers through the grounds of Chambord and its magnificent château.

After the initial gaps created by the rugged terrain of some of the early stages, the favorites will need to make sure they position themselves well in this time trial, as the first real outline of the general classification could take shape on this day.

8/ Saturday, July 10, 2027 - Bourges > Le Creusot - 224 km

La cathédrale Saint-Etienne de Bourges - © Thomas VergouwenIn the Cher department, the 2028 European Capital of Culture—also known as Bourges—will be the starting point for the longest stage of the [[2027 Tour de France]]. This will be an opportunity at the start to highlight Saint-Étienne Cathedral and the Palais Jacques Coeur, just two of the many historic buildings found in the capital of the Cher department.

The first half of the stage is mostly flat, up to Château-Chinon, where the riders will face the Col de la Gravelle and then, closer to the finish, the Côte de la Croix de la Libération (4.6 km at 5.3%) and, 18 km from the finish in Le Creusot, the climb up the Signal d’Uchon. This will likely be a prime opportunity for attackers to aim for another stage victory.

9/ Sunday, July 11, 2027 - Villars-les-Dombes - Parc des Oiseaux > Grand Colombier - 162 km

At the end of this first full week of the [[2027 Tour de France]], a true mountain stage—entirely within the Ain department—is on the schedule, starting from the Parc des Oiseaux in Villars-les-Dombes. With a rest day the following day, the four listed climbs will be tackled relentlessly by the race favorites, as they’ll need to give it their all to secure the Yellow Jersey on the eve of this second rest day.

The first summit will be reached after 57.5 km, with the Col du Berthiand (6.3 km at 7.5%), followed fairly quickly by the Côte des Neyrolles (3.6 km at 7.7%), which will continue on to the Col de Bérentin and the Col de Cuvéry. After descending the last climb, the riders will face the ascent of the Col de Richemond (7.7 km at 6%). Before reaching Lake Bourget, the race then branches off toward the hairpin turns of the Grand Colombier (17.4 km at 7.1%)

R2/ Monday, July 12, 2027 – rest day in Haute-Savoie

After these first nine already very challenging stages, another rest day is on the schedule for the [[2027 Tour de France]], and it will be in Haute-Savoie that both riders and fans of the Tour de France will be able to catch their breath!

10/ Tuesday, July 13, 2027 - Annecy > Sallanches - 171 km

The day after the second rest day, this stage will serve as a sort of preview of the 2027 Super World Cycling Championships.

From the shores of Lake Annecy, the riders will set off on the 10th stage of the [[2027 Tour de France]], and after a short climb in Ferrières, they’ll quickly reach the ascent of the Col du Plan du Salève (9.6 km at 5.4%), reaching the summit at the 26-kilometer mark. They likely won’t have much time to enjoy the magnificent view of Lake Geneva, even though the route initially descends like a slide before reaching the very steep Montée de Brison (5 km at 10.2%).

After a stretch through the valley, the riders will cross the finish line for the first time before tackling the Côte de Domancy climb (2.5 km at 9.4%, with a maximum gradient of 16%), which is part of the 2027 World Cycling Super Championships circuit. They then continue toward the Montée du Bettex (5.5 km at 8%), and after crossing the valley, they climb the Côte du Plateau d’Assy (5.1 km at 7.5%) on the other side of the mountain before crossing over again to climb the Côte de Domancy and head toward the finish line in Sallanches.

11/ Wednesday, July 14, 2027 - Cluses > Les Saisies - 150 km

The final Alpine stage will be a major mountain stage, starting from Cluses. Right from the start, the riders will begin the climb up the Col de la Colombière (15.9 km at 7%). After the descent toward Le Grand-Bornand, they will begin the climb up the Col de la Croix Fry (7.2 km at 5.5%). After passing through the valley via Thônes, Saint-Ferréol, and Ugine, the riders will face the climb up the Col de la Forclaz de Queige (5.1 km at 8.2%). Passing through Beaufort, they then begin the climb up the Col du Pré (12.6 km at 7.8%), passing by the magnificent Roselend Dam before the climb up the Montée de Bisanne (12.4 km at 8.3%), whose summit lies 4 km from the finish line in the resort of Les Saisies. Thus, over 150 kilometers, the riders will have to tackle 4,750 meters of elevation gain!

12/ Thursday, July 15, 2027 - Chambéry > Valence - 162 km

The famous Elephant Fountain could make another appearance during this 12th stage of the [[2027 Tour de France]] since it will start in Chambéry (just like this year’s 17th stage). This stage will be much less hilly than the previous ones, heading toward Valence, and may therefore offer another opportunity for the sprinters... although it seems the wind might throw a wrench in their plans!
The profile of the twelfth stage of the Tour de France 2027

13/ Friday, July 16, 2027 - Aubenas > Montpellier - 164 km

And it will be much the same for the stage between Aubenas and Montpellier, where a sprint was also expected in 2016 but where the wind intervened, leading to a victory for Peter Sagan from a small group of four breakaway riders.
The profile of the thirteenth stage of the Tour de France 2027

14/ Saturday, July 17, 2027 - Montpellier > Mende - 199 km

Starting from Montpellier, it is—perhaps unexpectedly—a mountain stage that awaits the riders, with no less than 4,300 meters of elevation gain. After a little over twenty kilometers on flat terrain, the stage begins with the Col du Vent (8.4 km at 5.8%). The rest of the route is slightly less rugged, but halfway through, the challenge resumes with the climb up the Col de la Lusette (11.6 km at 7.3%) followed by a short climb toward Mont Aigoual. A steep descent then takes the riders to the base of the Côte de l’Estrade (5.7 km at 8.3%) and about twenty kilometers further on, the Côte de la Croix Neuve—known as the Montée Jalabert—awaits the riders (3 km at 10.1%), with its summit just a few hundred meters from the finish line in Mende.

15/ Sunday, July 18, 2027 - Rodez > Albi - 169 km

Starting in Rodez, a hilly stage awaits the riders, featuring no fewer than eight listed climbs, with the final summit—the Côte de Monestiés—to be reached less than 25 kilometers from the finish. It’s therefore possible that a breakaway will be ahead of the peloton as the riders head down toward Albi for a descent 5 kilometers from the finish, before a final push on a slight uphill stretch… will they hold on until the end?

R3/ Monday, July 19, 2027 – Rest day in Toulouse

After this second week, the third rest day is on the schedule for the [[2027 Tour de France]], and Toulouse will be where most of the teams and supporters will be staying.

16/ Tuesday, July 20, 2027 - Toulouse > Toulouse - individual time trial - 33 km

The day after the last rest day and at the start of this final week of the [[2027 Tour de France]], another individual time trial is on the schedule, starting and finishing in Toulouse. Once again, the riders can expect a course generally suited to time trial specialists, running along both sides of the Garonne River; however, at the 24-kilometer mark, they’ll have to climb the steep Côte de Pech David, which we first encountered during the [[2025 Tour de France]] and features gradients of up to 20%. The final 7 kilometers, which take place mostly within the city, will then be flat again.
The profile of the sixteenth stage of the Tour de France 2027

17/ Wednesday, July 21, 2027 - Muret > Pau - 186 km

On the eve of entering the Pyrenees, the 17th stage will start in the suburbs of Toulouse, in Muret—where the Tour de France last visited in 2025 —that the 17th stage will begin, for a stage that is mostly flat. The intermediate sprint will take place in Castelnau-Magnoac, and the riders will climb a short hill a few kilometers from the finish in Pau, the Côte de Baleix. It is highly likely, however, that we will see a mass sprint in this city, which is a regular stop on the Tour de France route.

18/ Thursday, July 22, 2027 - Pau > Saint-Lary-Soulan - Col du Portet - 174 km

On Thursday, July 22, the race enters the Pyrenees for a thrilling finale to the [[2027 Tour de France]]. Starting in Pau, a high-mountain stage awaits the riders of this 114th edition of the Grande Boucle—the queen stage that reaches the pinnacle of the 2027 Tour.

After about thirty kilometers, the road begins to climb toward the Col du Soulor (11.8 km at 7.3%), and after the descent to Argelès-Gazost and just a brief stretch through the valley, it is from Luz-Saint-Sauveur that the riders climb the Col du Tourmalet (19 km at 7.4%). The sequence continues after the descent to Saint-Marie-de-Campan with the Hourquette d’Ancizan (8.2 km at 5.1%), then after the descent and a short stretch through the valley via Saint-Lary-Soulan, the final climb to the Col du Portet (16 km at 8.7%) remains, which—at 2,215 m—will be the highest point of the [[2027 Tour de France]] route.

19/ Friday, July 23, 2027 - Hasparren > Laruns - 160 km

For the start of Stage 19, the race veers significantly westward to Hasparren in the Basque Country.

This is surprising because the race will then head back east, but this is indeed the route chosen by the race organizers. The stage takes place entirely in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques and the Basque Country, and starting at the 35 km mark, the race tackles the Col de Burdincurutcheta (8.7 km at 9.3%), which continues on to the summit of the Col de Bagargui (4.8 km at 6.4%). Leaving the Basque Country, the race then heads toward the Col du Soudet (15.1 km at 7.2%), and after descending from it toward Arette and passing through the valley, the riders tackle the race’s final major climb, the Col de Marie Blanque (7.7 km at 8.6%), whose summit lies less than 20 kilometers from the finish in Laruns, which will be reached via a slight uphill stretch lasting several kilometers.

20/ Saturday, July 24, 2027 - Maubourguet > Libourne - 198 km

From Maubourguet, a long, nearly flat stage awaits the riders, which could therefore offer another opportunity for the sprinters—provided, of course, that they’re still in good enough shape to make the most of the final straight stretch toward the finish in Libourne...
The profile of the twentieth stage of the Tour de France 2027

21/ Sunday, July 25, 2027 - Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines > Paris Champs-Élysées - 116 km

After a long transfer, the final stage will start, as has been the case in recent years, in the Yvelines region, and more specifically, in 2027, from Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, home to the National Velodrome, which will host the track events of the 2027 Super World Cycling Championships a few weeks later.

As usual, this stage will begin in a relaxed atmosphere, with a glass of champagne in hand, before heading toward Paris and passing by the capital’s main landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Arc de Triomphe. This time, the riders will complete four laps of the Champs-Élysées circuit before leaving it via the Place de l’Étoile to head toward Montmartre and the now-famous Rue Lepic with its cobblestone climb and the stretch past the Sacré-Cœur.
