L'Etape Denmark by Tour de France is characterized by the incredible feed stations highlighted by our participants.

The feeding starts already in the starting villages that serve a light breakfast with coffee and bread. The feed stations along the courses serve a varied and delicious selection of real and hot foods, snacks, sweets, cakes and fruits. There will also be soda, coffee and energy drink.

Unlike certain gran fondos, our feed stations are organized by local volunteers serving local delicacies and lots of real foods rather than energy products, so there won't be any energy bars og gels available at the feed stations.

However, we can guarantee you that you won't be hungry or thirsty during L'Etape Denmark.

On the longest 300 km route there are a total of 7 feed stations, while the other 4 routes visit between 1 and 4 feed stations.

Click on each route to see the exact number and location of the feed stations:

• Flensburg 300 km
• Vejen 160 km
• Aalborg 125 km
• Nørre Snede 75 km
• Funder 50 km

By participating in L'Etape Denmark you support the local volunteers and their sports clubs, as they receive an economic contribution for their efforts.

You can expect a challenging and unique cycling experience riding on a beautiful route filled with challenging climbs, amazing landscapes and historical sights for every pedal stroke. You can also expect great support and selections in our feeding stations as well as a unique ending to your ride in the finishing city of Viborg.

These are the headlines of Hærvejsløbet - The Viking Gran Fondo, which L'Etape Denmark is now a part of. In addition to this, you can now also expect great Village atmosphere and a proper Tour de France feel competing for the famous leaders jerseys.
