Tour de France will make its big comeback to Hautes-Alpes and the Southern Alps on Wednesday 17, Thursday 18 and Friday 19 July 2024 even if it will not be official until official presentation of the Tour in October. at the Palais des Congrès in Paris.
On the program, and what is more in the last week of the Tour, an arrival at SuperDévoluy on Wednesday July 17, then a Gap-Barcelonnette stage on Thursday 18 and finally a departure from the Embrun lake on Friday July 19 towards Isola 2000 via the Col de Vars and the Col de Restefond/La Bonnette, the highest pass in Europe.
This Tour de France will be, as you know, atypical since it will start from Florence and arrive in Nice due to the Olympic Games in Paris.
The details of the stage profile remain to be known, but as usual the discretionary instructions given by A.S.O lead to the greatest silence among the decision-makers in the region. We therefore hope for an arrival in the Dévoluy via the famous and difficult Col du Noyer. We also don't know at this stage the route of the Gap-Barcelonnette stage which promises to be interesting and innovative.
As for the future, a return to Briançonnais is in the running for 2025 with a return to the Col du Granon. Other municipalities are in the running like Manosque, Sisteron, Orcières and so many others.
