Etape du Tour 2012,
Albertville to La Toussuire 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 Albertville and La Toussuire featuring col de Madeleine, col de la Croix de Fer, Col de Mollard among others.
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.
