L’ÉTAPE DENMARK

Challenge your inner Viking

The Danish cycling event Hærvejsløbet - The Viking Gran Fondo is now also L'Etape Denmark by Tour de France. Your challenging and unforgettable ride back through history.

It's a fascinating mix of physical challenges for your inner Viking, historical sights and beautiful landscapes at every turn of the pedals.

You are going on an unforgettable ride from A to B along the natural ridge that was formed through Jutland during the last ice age. Here, an ancient road – Hærvejen – has, over the centuries, helped migrants, pilgrims, merchants and Vikings stay dry as they made their way through Denmark.

You need to bring out your inner Viking to overcome the challenging routes and the steep climbs. The route also offers you plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ride with beautiful landscapes and our famous feeding stations.

Christian Prudhumme, Tour de France race director, says:

"At ASO, Tour de France organizer, we are very happy to have L’Etape by Tour de France series coming to Denmark. After the amazing success of the Tour de France Grand Départ in the country, it looked like an evidence for us to have a L’Etape by Tour de France event on Danish roads."

"With the unique the craze along the roads and the amazing performances from Danish riders in the last Tour de France editions, especially in 2022 with 4 stage victories won by the local riders & the yellow and polka dot jerseys won by Jonas Vingegaard, I’m sure the event will be a great success and that Danish and international riders will live the true Tour de France experience in Viborg, competing on closed roads for the Tour de France jerseys and enjoying the best possible experience for cycling amateurs."
