Albertville
Stage city for the 5th time, sous-prefecture of Savoie (73), 19 700 inhabitants (Albertvillois)
For a long time, the riders on the Tour de France contented themselves with passing through Albertville, but more recently, they have regularly stopped off here, with a more than decent level of success for French riders. In 2012, Pierre Rolland won, whilst in 2016, Romain Bardet grabbed the stage victory as well as second place in the GC.
Albertville combines skiing and educational excellence. The Lycée Jean Moulin high school plays host to France’s SSHN elite skiing school. This establishment allows pupils to combine training, competition and studies. It has seen the greatest French champions pass through its doors.
Val Thorens
Stage city for the 2nd time, mountain resort of Savoie (73), attached to the common of Les Belleville, 3 100 inhabitants (Bellevillois)
The Tour de France already climbed up to the summit of Europe’s highest ski resort in 1994. At the end of an unbridled stage, Colombian Nelson Rodríguez tasted triumph. 68 riders finished after the cut-off time, before being reintegrated into the race.
Val Thorens was elected best ski resort in the world for the 5th time in November 2018. With 1.8 million votes, it beat other internationally renowned resorts such as Kitzbühel or Verbier. Val Thorens was also deemed best French ski resort for the sixth consecutive year.
