The two Pyrenean stages of the Tour de France 2024

Two days of madness await you for the 111th edition of the Tour de France!

13 July: Pau - Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d'Adet (152 km) 🏔️

On 13 July, the riders will battle it out on the Pau - Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d'Adet stage.

Experience the thrill of the start of the stage. Three formidable cols will mark out their route:

• Col du Tourmalet: one of the Tour de France's legendary passes, culminating at an altitude of 2115 metres.
• Hourquette d'Ancizan: a lesser-known but just as difficult pass, with steep slopes and an exceptional panorama.
• Final ascent to Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d'Adet: a finish at altitude that could well reshuffle the cards in the overall classification.

 
14 July: Loudenvielle - Plateau de Beille (198 km) 🏔️

The following day, an even more formidable stage awaits the riders.

14 July 2024 promises to be one of the most thrilling stages of the race, with a spectacular start from Loudenvielle and a 198km journey to the Plateau de Beille in Ariège for stage 15!

Six passes will be on the route, with a total vertical drop of more than 4,850 metres, the highest of the 2024 edition:

• Col de Peyresourde: a first category pass, 6.9 km long and with an average gradient of 7.8%.
• Col de Menté: a 9.3 km long, non-category pass, feared for its steep gradients, with an average gradient of 9.1%.
• Col de Portet-d'Aspet: a first category pass, 4.3 km long, with an average gradient of 9.7%.
• Col d'Agnes: a second-category pass, 10 km long and with an average gradient of 8.2%.
