This summer, the Grenoble Alpes region becomes a true land of cycling, and Hôtel d’Angleterre invites you to experience these exceptional sporting events from a comfortable, centrally located base in the heart of Grenoble.

The Tour de France is just around the corner…

On July 24th, 2025, the Tour de France makes its grand return to the region with Stage 18 starting from Vif, a charming town just 20 minutes by car from our hotel. This mountain stage is expected to be the toughest of the Tour: 171 km, 5,500 meters of elevation gain, and three legendary mountain passes to conquer : Col du Glandon, Col de la Madeleine, and the infamous Col de la Loze, where the best climbers will face an epic challenge.

From Grenoble, it's easy to reach the start in Vif to cheer on the riders, soak in the festive atmosphere, and catch the iconic Tour caravan as it rolls by.

And that’s not all :  the Vuelta is coming too!

Less than a month later, on August 26th, 2025, another major event awaits: Stage 4 of the Vuelta a España passes through the Isère region!

Starting in Susa, Italy, the stage will head to Voiron via Vizille and Sassenage, once again showcasing the beauty of our region to the cycling world.

Two legendary races, two unforgettable chances to experience the thrill of the peloton, just a short distance from Hôtel d’Angleterre.
