Tour de l'avenir

The Tour de France for young hopefuls

For its 61st edition, the Tour de l’Avenir will be stopping off in Tignes on 28 August 2025. Come and cheer on the future stars of cycling!

This 5th and penultimate stage of the Tour de l’Avenir 2025 will take place between Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc and Tignes.

This major 126-kilometre stage has a positive altitude difference of almost 4,052 metres. All the ingredients for a breathless, intense race!

The roads used by the riders will be temporarily closed (approximately 15 minutes before the riders pass and for a maximum of 45 minutes) and parking restrictions will apply. Thank you in advance for your understanding and enjoy the show!

Tignes hosts the Grands Départs

The Haute-Tarentaise, the usual meeting place for the event, will be the epicentre, with the Grands Départs taking the form of prologues from Tignes. This will be the first stage of the event for Tignes, before welcoming the finish of stage 5 a few days later.

The Grand Départ from Tignes will be the occasion for two events:

• Firstly, a time trial open to all, preceding the prologue.
• And above all, there will be a major first, the U23 Cycling Forum, designed to raise awareness among young hopefuls, both male and female, of the various themes involved in top-level sport: performance, safety, team life-style, etc. An educational initiative to mark the occasion of this major gathering of the world's best hopefuls, with various speakers from institutions, the field of expertise and the professional world, who will be talking to the young riders.
