The race is scheduled to start in Edinburgh on July 2 and finish in Paris on July 25, 2027, with three summit finishes along the way.
The 2027 Tour de France will include 71km across two individual time trials—the most racing against the clock since 2012—alongside three summit finishes. Race director Christian Prudhomme presented the route in Paris on October 22, Cycling Weekly reported.
The announcement defines the course on which Tadej Pogačar will seek a record sixth Tour victory, according to Cycling Weekly, after winning his fifth title in 2026. The organisers’ estimated route covers 3,479km with 54,450m of climbing across 21 racing days.
In the two individual time trials, riders compete separately against the clock. The mountain stages include three summit finishes, where the finish line sits at the top of a climb. Cycling Weekly gives the organisers’ stage classifications as follows:
| Stage type | Number |
|---|---|
| Flat | 7 |
| Hilly | 6 |
| Mountain | 6, including three summit finishes |
| Individual time trial | 2 |
After crossing central France, the course reaches the Alps, the Massif Central and then the Pyrenees. Stage 18 finishes atop the Col du Portet, followed by the final Pyrenean stage on day 19. Cycling Weekly identifies that late mountain sequence as decisive for the overall contest.
