Tour de France Femmes race director Marion Rousse has called the 2026 route "mischievous" after its unveiling on Thursday morning, with hilly stages galore and a Mont Ventoux debut on the menu for next August.
The fifth edition of the race will set off from its second foreign Grand Départ in Switzerland and riders will tackle an individual time trial for the first time since 2024 before a series of challenging hilly stages pack the second half of the nine-day race.
