PESHTERA
& BATAK Bulgaria

The fourth edition of the Etape Bulgaria by Tour de France will be held on July 5th, 2026. Experience the spirit of the legendary Tour de France race in the Western Rhodopes region. Be a part of a breathtaking experience with hundreds of cycling enthusiasts in the region. Like professional cyclists, you will ride on completely closed roads in the area of the ancient towns of Peshtera and Batak. Enjoy the beautiful and varied course with two challenging climbs and some technical and speed descents. The route of L'Etape Bulgaria from the Tour de France offers you an excellent challenge with more than 2100 m of altitude for climbing enthusiasts.

The long weekend begins on Friday afternoon (July 3rd) with the opening of the Tour de France museum and the registration of the riders. Saturday (July 4th) is scheduled for fun and preparation, a family ride, and a children's race, for which pre-registration is required due to space limitations until we get to the long-awaited Sunday morning (July 5th) where we will see who will wear the yellow jersey of the Tour de France for the fourth time in Bulgaria.
