Tour de France

USA Cycling Foundation will host this special 2026 Tour de France experience in the Haute Savoie, guided by Mari Holden - USA Cycling Foundation Senior Philanthropy Manager, World Champion, and Olympic Medalist.

Throughout the week, guests will enjoy guided rides supported by inGamba on some of the most iconic climbs in the region alongside fellow supporters of American cycling, with special guest appearances and opportunities to experience VIP Tour de France viewing at select stages. 

New for 2026, guests may also choose to extend their experience with an optional Paris Finale Extension on July 26–27 (limited availability). This two-day, one-night add-on includes coordinated high-speed train travel to Paris, lunch and VIP grandstand access for Stage 21 on the Champs-Élysées, a celebratory closing dinner, and an overnight stay in Paris with Monday departure.

This extension offers a memorable way to close the week, celebrating the Tour’s final stage together in the heart of the city.

Our itinerary will feature six exceptional days of riding through the Haute Savoie, designed to showcase the region’s most iconic climbs, stunning scenery, and unforgettable cycling culture.
