We offer hotels with airport transfers included and self-arrival hotels. Please ensure that you make the correct choice.

Please note, flights are going to be in high demand on this date, so we advise you to book early to guarantee a flight seat and a good price. Our last transfer from the airport departs at 20:00, so please make sure your flights land far enough in advance of this time for you to go through passport control and collect your bags.

We have a selection of hotels available on bed and breakfast board basis. Don’t forget travel insurance – Please visit our insurance page.

If you don’t want to fly with your bike then our partners offer a convenient door to door Overland bike transport service from mainland UK from £200 per bike.

If you have rented a bike from us then it will be available for you on arrival – More information here

After breakfast, please make your way to the EXPO and registration area where you will be able to register for the Etape du Tour. Don’t forget that you need a medical certificate to take part in the Etape du Tour – We offer an Online medical certification service – More information here

We anticipate a 07:00/08:00 start for the Etape, so we have organised early breakfasts at all hotels so you can get to the start early to ensure everyone is lined up in the right pens for the start. The organisers allocate pens according to likely finish time and historic Etape performance, therefore faster riders start nearer the front and the slower riders at the back. Please note, we have no influence over your starting pen. The Etape du Tour is a closed road sportive. There will be water stops en-route and mechanical assistance.  Along the route, there are certain times that you must have passed certain spots.

Sports Tours International food and assistance points

Especially for Sports Tours international riders there will be additional food and assistance points on the route which give you better access than at the normal feed stops. Many of our riders actually use just our feed stops and avoid the official ones. On the 2022 Etape du Tour we will provide 2 private feed stations.

If you have booked bike rental or our overland bike transport service then your bike will be collected back from you this evening.

Today is departure day. You will need to check out and leave the hotel mid-morning. Our earliest airport transfer is for flights departing after 10:00.
