Etape du Tour 2012,
Pau to Bagneres-de-Luchon 2012
Etape du Tour is an annual event held in conjunction with the Tour de France and is an actual stage of the Tour, held in advance of the pros stage and with all of the support and prestige of the Tour (motorcade, closed roads etc.) In 2012, the Etape will feature a stage between Pau and Bagneres-de-Luchon with cols Aubisque, Tour-malet, Aspin and Peyresourde.
Great Explorations' experience at the Tour is unrivalled. Combined with our 28 years designing and leading tours throughout France give us an edge when managing logistics around an event such as this. In 2012, we will have a limited allotment of registra-tions and these spaces will sell out quickly.
