Route and stages
In June 2025, it was announced that 2026 edition would have a Grand Départ in Switzerland, with stage starts in Lausanne, Aigle and Geneva. [2] The race will start a week after the men's race, with ASO choosing to avoid an overlap with the men's race to allow for resources to be shared between the two races. [3] In August 2025, Le Dauphiné libéré reported rumours that the race would have a summit finish on Mont Ventoux for the first time. [4] [5]
As with previous editions of the race, the remainder of the 2026 route will be announced in October 2025.
