For the third consecutive year, the territory of Grand Chambéry and the City of Chambéry will vibrate to the rhythm of the "Grande Boucle". This popular event promises a great celebration in the heart of Savoie, confirming Chambéry Montagnes' place among cycling destinations.
After hosting the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and the Étape du Tour Femmes in 2025, and the Tour de France in 2026, Chambéry and its surrounding area will once again experience the excitement of the publicity caravan, the cyclists, and the supporters. The official confirmation by Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.) of the start of the 12th stage between Chambéry and Valence, on Thursday, July 15, delights local stakeholders.
This event is an opportunity to (re)discover Chambéry in a festive atmosphere, enjoying its terraces, shops, and historic center. Residents, shopkeepers, and economic and tourism stakeholders are invited to participate in this moment of sharing and conviviality.
This recognition of three consecutive years in the spotlight of the Tour highlights the identity of Chambéry Montagnes as a "land of cycling". The territory cultivates cycling in all its forms, from the high Savoyard passes to family-friendly routes, including mountain bike trails and cycle paths.
Beyond the event day, this new start represents a formidable tourist showcase for the entire destination, encouraging visitors to discover the landscapes of the Bauges and Chartreuse massifs, the heritage of Chambéry, and the riches of the territory.
