The Tour de France 2022 race route in Google Earth

Thomas, your link: "Téléchargez le parcours de toutes les étapes du Tour de France 2022 dans Google Earth" points to your older 2021 file, not to a new 2022 file. Thanks.

Oops @Huntbox, my bad! I corrected that now, so you should find the 2022 file when clicking on it again :).

Thank you again for this wonderful service and the hard work that went into it. I cannot imagine a TdF without it.

Thanks, Thomas, for fixing the link. I look forward to getting the Google Earth files every year.

Bonjour Thomas Merci de nous partager votre amour du vélo.On est bien content de découvrir les commentaires et analyses de vos publications

You have a very interesting site but I cant find the link for the kmz file of the tour 2022 route

Hi, the KML link is not working ? Where can i download ?

Hello @Dan #6 and @erik #7, The link to the KMZ file is at the end of the article (both in text and on the image with the full map) and it *is* working correctly. As indicated, if it doesn't work, you should copy it and paste it in the address bar in a new tab or window in your browser and press enter. You should open it with a fully compatible KMZ reading app.

link to kmz did not work in Chrome. But Firefox did well... Thx Thomas.

Bonjour ,le lien ne fonctionne pas ,il donne ceci http://short.thover.com/?ID=807

Bonjour , Très bonne page ,ne manque que le Tour de France féminin pour Google Earth

Standing in his way is the sheer strength and depth of Dutch team Jumbo-Visma , who carry multiple threats including Pogacar’s national teammate Primoz Roglic and last year’s Tour runner-up, Jonas Vingegaard. Ineos Grenadiers are without their leading light Egan Bernal, the 2019 champion who is still recovering from injury, but they do have the in-form Geraint Thomas fresh from winning the Tour de Suisse, as well as potential stage winners Adam Yates and Tom Pidcock.

Here is a stage-by-stage look at this year’s route.

Stage 1, Friday 1 July: individual time trial, Copenhagen, 13.2km

The Tour usually begins on Saturday but the transfer from this year’s opening three stages in Copenhagen to northern France means an early rest day and a Friday start to accommodate it. A flat time trial through the streets of Copenhagen opens the show with plenty of intricate tight corners, but given it is only over 13km there shouldn’t be huge time gaps created among the leaders. Even so, the pure climbers will be conscious to minimise losses here.

Stage 1 report: Yves Lampaert claims surprise win on opening Tour de France stage in wet Copenhagen

Stage 2, Saturday 2 July: Roskilde-Nyborg, 202.5km

This long stage could prove pivotal as the peloton traces Denmark’s northern coastline, where crosswinds could split the pack and put a serious dent in the hopes of those on the wrong side. Three categorised climbs feature in the middle of the stage before what is set to be a spectacular finale across the Great Belt Bridge.

Stage 2 report: Fabio Jakobsen claims maiden Tour de France stage win after chaotic finish on day two

Stage 3, Sunday 3 July: Vejle-Sonderborg, 182km

Stage three looks like a classic breakaway day before a bunch sprint finish between the serious fast men, with the likes of Caleb Ewan (Lotto-Soudal), Fabio Jakobsen (Quickstep), Dylan Groenewegen (BikeExchange-Jayco) and Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Fenix) sharpening their elbows as they battle for the win. It closes out the Danish jaunt before a transfer day to France.

Stage 3 report: Dylan Groenewegen wins photo finish in Sonderborg as Wout van Aert keeps yellow

Stage 4, Tuesday 5 July: Dunkirk-Calais, 171.5km

The first stage in France couldn’t get much close to Britain, and fans might take the opportunity to nip across the Channel. There are five category four climbs dotted through the stage but nothing sharp enough to deter the sprinters, so long as they can keep up with any early breakaway. Strong winds could be a factor, too.

Stage 4 report: Wout van Aert surges to victory with brilliant solo ride to Calais

Stage 5, Wednesday 6 July: Lille-Arenberg Porte du Hainault, 157km

This is the Paris-Roubaix stage, with 19km of cobbles across 11 perilous sections towards the end of a hilly day which are likely to claim a few injuries but could also offer up a chance to attack for those brave enough to try it. A one-day classics master like Mathieu van der Poel could thrive in these kind of conditions.

Report: Tadej Pogacar hurts Jumbo-Visma rivals as Simon Clarke wins on the cobbles

Stage 6, Thursday 7 July: Binche-Longwy, 220km

A lumpy finish to this stage will knock any sprinters out of contention and offer up the win to anyone brave enough to speed down the descent from the category three Cote de Pulventeux which lurks close to the end of what will be a long day. A day for a breakaway artist, perhaps? Peter Sagan won in Longwy in 2017.

Stage 6 report: Tadej Pogacar takes yellow jersey from Wout van Aert

Stage 7, Friday 8 July: Tomblaine-La Planche des Belles Filles, 176.5km

The first mountain-top finish is a modern Tour de France classic: La Planche des Belle Filles, where Chris Froome won in 2012 and Tadej Pogacar took control of the 2020 edition. “The Plank” gets steeper as it rises, finishing on a 24% gradient, and by the end of a gruelling day we will have a good idea of who, if anyone, can challenge Pogacar for his crown.

Stage 7 report: Tadej Pogacar turns the screw on rivals with dramatic win atop La Planche

Stage 8, Saturday 9 July: Dole-Lausanne, 186.5km

Another day for the puncheurs like Van der Poel – and one Julian Alaphilippe would have loved had he been fit for this Tour. The three categorised climbs, the sharp descent from Col de Petra Felix all leading to an uphill finish: this day will have been earmarked in the schedule by those teams chasing hilly stage wins.

Stage 8 report: Wout van Aert takes stage eight Tour glory as Tadej Pogacar extends lead

Stage 9, Sunday 10 July: Aigle-Chatel, 193km

The first proper mountain stage heads to Switzerland where a couple of category one climbs await. If a break stays clear then someone with strong climbing legs can get the job done, but they will also need good technical skills on the fast descents – Ineos’s Adam Yates could be a contender.

Stage 9 report: Bob Jungels holds off Thibaut Pinot charge to claim first career Tour de France stage win

Stage 10, Tuesday 12 July: Morzine-Megeve, 148.5km

After the second rest day, the peloton returns to a familiar route from Morzine to Megeve via another dip into Switzerland which is likely to be contested by a breakaway, with the main GC contenders conserving energy for the intimidating days ahead.

Stage 10 report: Magnus Cort wins stage 1 as Tadej Pogacar retains yellow

Stage 11, Wednesday 13 July: Albertville-Col du Granon, 152km

An eyewatering route for riders but a mouthwatering day in store for fans, as three tough climbs await at the second half of the stage which could provide a platform in the clouds for a battle between the general classification contenders. The Col du Telegraphe (11.9 km, 7.1%), Col du Galibier (17.7km, 6.9%) and Col du Granon (11.3 km, 9.2%) will drain even strong legs and, if he’s feeling fresh, Pogacar could chose this moment to hurt his rivals. The Galibier marks the highest point of the race at 2,642m, and the first man over will win the Souvenir Henri Desgrange.

Stage 11 report: Jonas Vingegaard takes yellow jersey as Tadej Pogacar feels Tour de France pressure

Stage 12, Thursday 14 July: Briançon-Alpe d’Huez, 165.5km

On Bastille Day, French fans will be hoping one of their men can deliver on the iconic Alpe d’Huez. Thibaut Pinot and David Gaudu, both of Groupama-FDJ, are the most likely French hopes but any one of the big GC contenders could make their move here on what will be a memorable day.

Stage 12 report: Tom Pidcock wins historic Alpe d’Huez stage as Jonas Vingegaard holds off Tadej Pogacar

Stage 13, Friday 15 July, Bourg d’Oisans-Saint Etienne, 193km

A transition from the Alps to the Massif hills which should open opportunities for those who have punching power in the legs as well as a sharp sprint finish for what is a flat run into the line.

Stage 13 report: Mads Pedersen clinches victory in Mende

Stage 14, Saturday 16 July: Saint Étienne-Mende, 192.5km

Another hilly day but some slightly more demanding climbs should see the stage victory fall into the hands of a fast rider who is not a pure sptinter. A day that is unlikely to shake up the main general classification contenders.

Stage 14 report: Michael Matthews wins in St Etienne

Stage 15, Sunday 17 July: Rodez-Carcassonne, 202.5km

An in-between stage which will be perfectly set up for the sprinters should they still be in the Tour and should they reach the finish in contention. But the various hilly sections could still be enough to keep the fast men at bay and offer the win to a breakaway group.

Stage 15 report: Costly day for Jonas Vingegaard as Jasper Philipsen wins stage 15

Stage 16, Tuesday 19 July: Carcassonne-Foix, 178.5km

The first stage of the Pyrenees is not too brutal and may not elicit much action at the top of the general classification. Instead it is likely to serve up a battle for the stage victory which will suit a skilful climber like Romain Bardet, if their GC ambitions allow them to escape up the road from the yellow jersey group.

Stage 16 report: Hugo Houle wins emotional stage 16 in Foix

Stage 17, Wednesday 20 July: Saint Gaudens-Peyragudes, 130km

Four categorised climbs culminate atop Peyragudes where there could be a fight for crucial yellow jersey seconds at the finish. The likes of Pogacar, Thomas and Vingegaard could all win a demanding stage like this one and make their mark on the general classification battle.

Stage 17 report: Tadej Pogacar edges sprint but Jonas Vingegaard protects yellow jersey lead

Stage 18, Thursday 21 July: Lourdes-Hautacam, 143.2km

Not a long route but three gruelling climbs including the hors categorie Col d’Aubisque and a summit finish. It looks built for another GC battle and the winner here is probably taking hold of the yellow jersey until Paris, if they were not already wearing it.

Stage 18 preview: Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard set for decisive final mountain duel

Stage 19, Friday 22 July: Castelnau-Magnoac-Cahors, 188.5km

A penultimate day for the sprinters, which will be well-earned for those fast men who have made it through the Alps and Pyrenees. The main GC contenders will look to conserve energy and their bodies for the decisive time trial to follow.

Stage 20, Saturday 23 July: Lacapelle Marival-Rocamadour individual time trial, 40.7km

It may all be a formality by this point with a chunky advantage for the overall leader already assured, but if the GC is tight enough then it will all come down to this: 40.7km, a long indivudal time trial with a couple of testing hills. The stage 20 ITT has become a regular feature over the past few years and threw up a dramatic finale in 2020 when Roglic suffered and Pogacar powered to victory. Organisers will hope for more of the same.

Stage 21, Sunday 24 July: Paris La Defense-Champs Elysees, 116km

The procession to the centre of Paris, where the jersey winners will be crowned and the sprinters will get one final contest for the prestige of victory on the Champs-Elysees. Oh how Mark Cavendish would have loved to add to his collection of wins here.

Keep up with the Tour—or create your own—with Search and Maps

Jul 12, 2017

[[read-time]] min read

The 104th edition of cycling’s most famous Grand Tour is well underway, with nearly 200 riders from around the world racing through 3,540 kilometers of the French countryside for the coveted yellow jersey. We’ve made a few tune-ups to Google Search to help you keep up with every stage of the Tour. And if the grueling mountain climbs inspire rather than intimidate you, hit the road on your own two wheels with Google Maps biking directions as your guide.

Now globally on the Google app for Android and iOS and the mobile web, when you search for Tour de France (or a similar query) on Google, you’ll see detailed information about the race and athletes as well as see the latest news stories. Most notably, you’ll also see the current standings of the race, which show jersey holders along with stage-by-stage results. As an added bonus, you’ll also have access to real-time update posts from the Tour de France directly in the search results.

Not everyone has the chance to make that triumphant roll down the Champs Elysées to the Arc de Triomphe. Lucky for us mere mortals, Google Maps makes it easy to find the best bike routes to let our inner cyclist shine—or just get from point A to point B.

To get bike directions on Google Maps, just enter your destination and tap on the bike icon. We give route suggestions based on the availability of dedicated bike trails in the area, and when possible we prioritize those routes. In case you’re not aiming to be “King of the Mountains,” we factor in variables like hills as well as size of the road, availability of bike lanes, and number of turns.

If you’re feeling adventurous and want to map out your own path, the bike layer will show color-coded routes according to their suitability for biking: dark green indicates a dedicated bike-only or multi-use trail; lighter green indicates a dedicated bike lane along a road; and a dotted green line indicates roads that don’t have bike lanes but tend to be more suitable for biking. To turn on the bike layer, tap the button above the compass icon and then tap the bike icon (on iOS) or open the main menu and then tap the bike icon (on Android).

Now grab your helmet, pump up your tires, and hit those hills!

The 2022 Tour de France Grand Depart  will take place in and around Copenhagen in 2022, with three stages launching the race.

The 2022 Grand Depart is essentially the original 2021 plan before the 2021 start was moved to Brittany owing to COVID-19. So Denmark gets a second shot at it in 2022.

Denmark isn't the only guest country in 2022 - the Tour will also go into Belgium and Switzerland. It'll be the first time since 2017 that 4 countries have featured on the route. 

Climbs are spread across 4 mountain ranges: the Vosges, the Alps (including a foray into Switzerland), the Massif Central and the Pyrenees. In all there are 6  mountain stages, including 5 summit finishes (La Super Planche des Belles Filles, Col du Granon, Alpe d’Huez, Peyragudes and the Hautacam).

The Tour de France race as usual will finish in Paris. For the first time it will coincide with the start of the Tour de France Femmes – see route map and stage overview .

In all the 2022 Tour de France will cover 3328 kilometres of cycling (that's 2067 miles).

2022 official Tour de France route map, 3328km

Specific info on each stage and more detailed maps are also usually published online each May and in the official race program . We'll post links to it when it's released.

We have this page for Tour de France road closure information , which we also update as information comes to hand (usually not from around May onwards).

See here for accommodation near the route (it will also be progressively updated throughout 2022).

Where to find more useful information: Official 2022 Tour de France Race Guide

Stage 1: friday, july 1  – copenhagen, individual time trial, 13km.

A rare Friday Tour de France start has been programmed in to squeeze in a transfer day from Denmark back to France after the first three stages. 

A  completely  flat route through the streets of Danish capital this should be a free flowing time trial at full speed. Perfect for specialists but some GC candidates will need to hang on to minimise time losses. Expect to see lots of images of  The Little Mermaid and Amalienborg, home to Denmark's royal family.

Stage 2: Saturday, July 2 – Roskilde to Nyborg, 199km

The second stage will be a challenging ride as teams look to avoid getting caught out by crosswinds. GC riders could concede precious seconds very early in the Tour.

There are three Category 4 climbs in quick succession after Veddinge Bakker at 62km, 72km and 84km.The route then takes a scenic path south along the west coast of Zealand. For 50km there will be a strong chances of crosswinds, which could fragment the peloton even before it reaches the day's showcase section: the Great Belt Fixed Link. Not great for GC contenders but wonderful for audiences at home – standby for multiple helicopter shots of this remarkable feat of engineering.

Click to see a larger downloadable PDF map of Stage 2 .

Stage 3: Sunday, July 3 – Velje to Sønderborg, 182km

A day for the breakaway, with a start through the hills of Vejle the route passes by many UNESCO sights before a likely bunch sprint.

Three categorised climbs feature on the stage 3 route – and there is 1 polka dot point available for the first up top each time. The first climb is Koldingvej (1.4km, 4.4%), just 27km into the stage. The second climb is at the 83km mark with Hejlsminde Strand (850m, 4.7%). It's followed by an intermediate sprint near the UNESCO World Heritage site of Christiansfeld. The breakaway will likely make it beyond the third climb, Genner Strand (1.6km, 3.3%). From here, the peloton should give chase as the race heads into Sønderborg.

Click to see a larger downloadable image of the map for Stage 3 .

Transfer day: Monday, July 4

The Danish start means this year sees an unusual 'transfer' day written into the schedule.  

Stage 4: Tuesday, July 5 – Dunkirk to Calais, 172km

A hilly stage between the Flanders and Boulon climbs. This should be a great one for English fans, with access via two ferry ports. 

Stage 5: Wednesday, July 6 – Lille to Wallers Arenberg Porte du Hainaut, 155km

COBBLES! They're back! There will be 19.4km of slips and spills across 11 sectors of the Hell of the North.

Stage 6: Thursday, July 7 – Binche to Longwy, 220km

The Tour returns to  Longwy, where  Peter Sagan won in 2017.  Includes the Côte de Puiventeux (800m, 12.3%) ahead of the final climb.

Stage 7: Friday, July 8 – Tomblaine to La Super Planche des Belles Filles, 176km

Stage 8: Saturday, July 9 – Dole to Lausanne, 186km

Stage 9: Sunday, July 10 – Aigle to Les Chatel Portes du Soleil, 183km

Rest day: monday, july 11 – morzine.

And breathe!

Stage 10: Tuesday, July 12 – Morzine to Megeve, 148km

Morzine and Megeve are no strangers to the Tour de France route. It''ll be another aviation theme today with the final climb to the  Altiport de Megève. There is also a foray across the border into Switzerland.  

Stage 11: Wednesday, July 13 – Albertville to Col du Granon, 149km

What better prelude could there be to Bastille Day? We have the Col du Télégraphe (11.9 km, 7.1%), the Col du Galibier (17.7km, 6.9%) and the Col du Granon (11.3 km, 9.2%) as the GC contenders come to the fore.

Stage 12: Thursday, July 14 Bastille Day - Briancon to Alpe d'Huez, 166km

The 2022 Tour de France's showcase stage is a repeat of the 1986 Alpe d'Huez stage. Col de la Croix de Fer (29km, 5.2%)? Yep.  Alpe d'Huez (13.8 km, 8.1%)? Yep. And on Bastille Day, too.  

Stage 13: Friday, July 15 – Bourg d'Oisans to Saint-Etienne, 193km

The battle for the green jersey should be back on as the Tour comes down from the mountains.

Stage 14: Saturday, July 16 – Saint-Etienne to Mende, 195km

Stage 15: Sunday, July 17 – Rodez to Carcassonne, 200km

Carcassonne again provides a spectacular backdrop for a fast, flat stage.  Another day for the sprinters. Cavendish fans will remember his 34th Tour stage win here in 2021. 

Rest day: Monday, July 18 – Carcassonne 

Stage 16: tuesday, july 19 – carcassonne to foix, 179km.

A near carbon copy of the 2017 Bastille Day stage won by Warren Barguil. Includes two nice climbs, the Port  de Lers (11.4km, 7%) and Mur de Péguère (9.3 km, 7,9%).

Stage 17: Wednesday, July 20 – Saint-Gaudens to  Peyragudes, 130km

A challenging day in te saddle with the Col d'Aspin (12km, 6.5%), the Hourquette d'Ancizan (8.2 km, 5.1%) and the Col de Val Louron-Azet (10.7km, 6.8%) acting as curtain raisers for a final assault on the runway at Peyragudes (8km, 7.8%).

Stage 18: Thursday, July 21 – Lourdes to Hautacam, 143km

Ouch!! The last 3 climbs of the 2022 Tour de France won't be a welcome sight for sore legs. Say hello to the Col d'Aubisque (16.4km, 7.1%), the Col de Spandelles (10.3km, 8.3%) and the mighty Hautacam (13.6km, 7.8%).

Stage 19: Friday, July 22 – Castelnau-Magnoac to Cahors, 189km

This should be a day for the sprinters unless a sneaky breakaway can stay away.

Stage 20: Saturday, July 23 – Lacapelle Marival to Rocamadour, 40km time trial

If the GC is tight, the yellow jersey may again be decided on the penultimate stage, which is – for the third year running – an individual time trial. Includes two little climbs late on the course:  Côte de Magès (1.6km, 4.7%) and Côte de l'Hospitalet (1.5km, 7%).

Stage 21: Sunday, July 24 – Paris La Défense Arena to  Paris Champs-Elysées, 112km 

On a bumper day for cycling in Paris, the Tour de France will roll into town just after the Tour de France Femmes  has rolled out. 

Time bonuses

The first, second and third riders across the line on each stage will receive a time bonus of 10, 6 and 4 seconds, respectively. .

Bike hire for watching the Tour de France

A reminder that if you need bike hire during the Tour de France you should book early. It ALWAYS sells out and it can be very hard to find quality carbon road bikes closer to the time.  More info here .

Check Out the Route for the 2023 Tour de France

It’s going to be a mountainous ride through France for the men in the 2023 edition of the Tour.

The route for the 2023 men’s Tour de France was released on Thursday, October 27, and now it’s almost time for the Tour to start.

There’s just one individual time trial set, a 22km race against the clock which will open up the final week of racing on Stage 16. The riders will cover 3,404 kilometers (2,115 miles) in total over the 21 stages.

It all gets started on July 1 and runs through July 23 just in time for the Tour de France Femmes to begin on the same day that the men ride into the Champs-Élysées.

2023 Tour de France route

From the Basque Country to Paris and all the stages in between

The 2023 Tour de France got underway on July 1st in Bilbao, Spain with another demanding route that includes only a single 22km hilly time trial in the Alps and mountain stages in all five of France’s mountain ranges. From the Grand Départ in the Basque Country to the finish in Paris, Cyclingnews has all the route details.

The very limited amount of time trialling and preponderance of mountains no doubt suits French riders  Thibaut Pinot , David Gaudu and Romain Bardet. As a result, Remco Evenepoel, Primoz Roglič and Geraint Thomas targeted the Giro d’Italia, which had three times the amount of time trialling and fewer mountains.

Official information from race organiser ASO claimed the 3,404km route includes eight flat stages for the sprinters, four hilly stages suited to breakaways and eight mountain stages. Four of these include summit finishes: in the Pyrenees at Cauterets-Cambasque, on the legendary Puy de Dôme volcano in the Massif Central, on the Grand Colombier in the Jura and at Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc in the Alps.

The other mountain stages are also extremely difficult, even if some are short and extra intense.

Stage 14 to Morzine includes 4,200m of climbing, alongside the mighty Col de Joux Plane and its testing descent to the finish. Stage 15 ends with the 11% ‘wall’ of Côte des Amerands and then the 7km 7.7% climb up to Saint-Gervais in view of Mont-Blanc.       

Stage 17 to Courchevel is arguably the queen stage, climbing the 2,304m-high Col de la Loze and then descends to finish on the altiport runway. Stage 20 is a final brutal multi-mountain stage in the Vosges between Belfort and Le Markstein ski resort.

The only time trial is on stage 16 in the Arve Valley near Sallanches after the second rest day, but the 22km route between Passy and Combloux will test riders' bike handling skills and climbing as much as their time trialling. The stage includes the Côte de Domancy, where Bernard Hinault forged his 1980 Worlds victory, and which also featured as part of the final week time trial in the 2016 Tour.

2022 Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard was arguably the best climber of the last two editions of the Tour and he appears to have plenty of opportunities to go on the attack on the steep ascents in 2023.

Two-time winner  Tadej Pogačar  will no doubt relish the route on offer for next July’s challenge against Vingegaard, Jumbo-Visma, Ineos Grenadiers and anyone else.

Tour de France

The Tour de France is an annual bicycle race held in France and nearby countries. First staged in 1903, the race covers more than 3,600 kilometres (2,200 mi) and lasts three weeks. As the best known and most prestigious of cycling's three "Grand Tours", the Tour de France attracts riders and teams from around the world. The race is broken into day-long segments, called stages. Individual times to finish each stage are aggregated to determine the overall winner at the end of the race. The rider with the lowest aggregate time at the end of each day wears the leader's yellow jersey on the next day of racing. The course changes every year, but the race has always finished in Paris. Since 1975, the climax of the final stage has been along the Champs-Élysées.
