The Tour de l’Avenir, a cycling race created and supported by the Tour de France, is a genuine preparatory race for the future hopes of world cycling. Proof, if proof were needed, is that the best riders of the moment were also the best riders in the Tour de l’Avenir!
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!
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:
Between Tignes les Brévières and Tignes 1800
Between Aoste and Saint-Galmier
Between Saint-Symphorien-sur-Coise and Vitry-en-Charollais
Between Etang-sur-Arroux and Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne
Between Montagnat and Val-Suran
Between Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc and Tignes le Lac
La Rosière Espace San Bernardo
Between Montvalezan and La Rosière

With the Tour de l'Avenir passing through, road traffic will be affected. See details below (timetables are provisional and therefore likely to be slightly different on the day).
From La Fauge to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, road closure between 13:30 and 16:00
Between Bourg-Saint-Maurice and Séez, at Avenue Antoine Borrel, road closure between 14:00 and 16:10
From Séez, from the intersection of D902 and D84B towards Villaroger, road closure between 14:00 and 16:10
Between Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise / Villaroger intersection (D84B / D902) and Tignes les Brévières intersection (D902 / D87B), road closure between 14h15 et 16h45
From Tignes les Brévières to the Tignes 1800 traffic circle (D87B / D87A), road closure between 14:30 and 17:00
From 1800 to arrival at Tignes le Lac on the Promenade de Tovière, road closure between 14:45 and 19:00
The Rue de la Promenade de Tovière (between the “Tovière” bus stop and the “Le Rosset” bus stop) will be closed all day on Thursday 28 August, between 08:00 and 19:30.
A diversion will be in place from 06:00 at the “Tovière” bus stop to allow vehicles to travel towards Lavachet. Traffic will be one-way on Route du Rosset.
Due to the arrival of the Tour de l'Avenir stage on the Tovière promenade and its closure for the entire day, the 2100 shuttle route will be slightly modified. The “Le Rosset” stop will not be served on Thursday 28 August.
The free shuttle bus in Tignes 1800 and Tignes 2100 will not run between 14:45 and the passage of the last rider (approximate time: 17:30).
As the road between Tignes 1800 and Tignes 2100 closes at 2.45pm, the shuttle service between Tignes and Val d'Isère will not operate while the road is closed. The following departures will therefore not run:
OPEN
