2026 Tour of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes: The Full Route and List of Registered Riders

The 2026 Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (formerly the Critérium du Dauphiné) takes place from Sunday, June 7, through Sunday, June 14. It is one of the major events of early summer: a short, fast-paced, and demanding race, often used as a barometer just a few weeks before the Tour de France. In 2026, the race will span 8 days, covering a total of 1,200 km with over 16,000 m of elevation gain—enough to provide a well-rounded challenge, featuring tricky stages, grueling climbs, and summit finishes that will truly test the riders. The schedule features a gradual build-up, starting with a team time trial to establish the team standings right from the start, followed by a second half of the race where the mountains take center stage and the leaders must rise to the challenge. As is often the case in this race, victory isn’t won solely on the major mountain passes: it’s also built on race management, positioning, the ability to handle changes in pace, and avoiding the “trap” stages typical of the region. In short, it’s an ideal week to test the riders’ legs, the teams… and their confidence. To follow this 78th edition closely, find all the route information, stage maps and profiles, the registered riders, and the live TV broadcast schedules.
