Dear participants. Since we have a maximum of 1000 athletes competing, there is no Covid certificate requirement at L'Etape Switzerland.

Also there is no need for a PCR test.

However, we will of course implement the ordered protection concepts.

All further details and information about the race and the start and finish areas will be available on this page from 1 September and will be sent to all participants by e-mail.

Amateurs can now tackle routes on five continents similar to the ones on the actual Tour De France and experience all the emotions and excitement of participating in an event bearing the Tour de France name.
