Tour de France Femmes 2025 Route + results stage 9: Praz-sur-Arly - Châtel

Sunday, 3 August – The final stage of the Tour de France Femmes covers 124.1 kilometres. En route from Praz-sur-Arly to Châtel, the riders tackle the Côte d’Arâches-la-Frasse, Joux Plane, and Col du Corbier. The last 2.2 kilometres of the stage rise at 5.6% to the line.

Following a gentle uphill in the first few kilometers, the riders dive down a long descent to Sallanches. About 10 kilometers on the flat later, the Côte d’Arâches-la-Frasse looms with its 6.2 kilometres of climbing at 7.1%. There is no immediate descent at the top, but the downhill sets in a few kilometres later.

The race then heads through the Griffe valley towards Samoëns, located at the base of the Joux Plane. The 11.6-kilometre climb serves up an average gradient of 8.5%. The first half is relatively gentle, but from the seventh kilometer onwards, the gradient hovers close to 10%.

There is about 60 kilometres of racing to go at the summit of the Joux Plane. Riders with nothing to lose might choose to go all-in on the climb and see where it takes them.

A few kilometers after the Joux Plane, the riders pass over the Col de Ranfoilly, and then they dive down to the base of the Col du Corbier. The 5.9-kilometre climb serves up an 8.5% gradient. And although it’s the last KOM climb of the day, the uphill gradients are far from over. After the descent, the road rises gently for 16 kilometers towards Châtel, where a short and sharp ramp throws in 1.4-kilometre at 7.5%.

There are 6 kilometers remaining in Châtel. The first part is a short descent, which is followed by a gradual false flat upwards. As the riders approach the finish, the road gets steeper, and in the final 2.2 kilometers to the ski station at Pré-la-Joux, the climb averages 5.6%.
