Think of stage 18 of <a href=\"https:\/\/letour.fr\/\">this year\u2019s Tour.<\/a> Mountain stages feature long, steep climbs that can stretch over 10\u202fkm, often stacked back-to-back with minimal recovery. It\u2019s where pure climbers and GC contenders rise above the rest. Here\u2019s what a typical mountain stage looks like.<\/p>\n<p>Distance: 130\u2013190\u202fkm<\/p>\n<p>Elevation gain: 3,000\u20135,500\u202fm<\/p>\n<p>Categorised climbs: Multiple Category 1 and Hors Cat\u00e9gorie (HC) climbs<\/p>\n<p>Experience: This is a high-effort day with energy steadily drained by long, steep ascents and thinning air at altitude. The final climb sees a dramatic escalation of effort, with sharp accelerations and attacks.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to design your own mountain stage?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re not riding in the Alps, don\u2019t worry, you can still simulate the effort of a mountain day at the Tour with smart route planning and a bit of stubbornness. Repeating climbs, stacking efforts, and fuelling like it is hour five of a queen stage can recreate the feel without booking a trip to France.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/tour-de-france-2025\/#contest\">Take the quiz<\/a> to find out what type of cyclist you are and scroll down to find your personalised path to summit glory.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Couch Cruiser<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h4>Route planning<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Distance:<\/strong> 20\u201330\u202fkm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Elevation:<\/strong> 300\u2013500\u202fm<\/p>\n<p><strong>Climbs:<\/strong> 1\u20132 climbs of 1\u20132\u202fkm each, no steeper than 5\u20136%<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Loop or out-and-back with a \u201csummit\u201d caf\u00e9 or viewpoint<\/li>\n<li>Bonus: repeat the same climb once to simulate Alpine d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu (optional!)<\/li>\n<li>Scenic photo ops on the way up = required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>How to ride it<\/h4>\n<p>Take your time on the approach, then climb at whatever pace lets you keep smiling.

Ride the longest climb near the end at a steady rhythm, sitting or standing as needed. If the legs say no halfway up, just pretend you\u2019re on a domestique\u2019s bad day. Bonus points if you finish with a slow-motion \u201csummit finish\u201d celebration.

On repeats, aim for consistency, not hero laps. Use the first couple to settle in, then climb 1\u20132 at your threshold in the second half of the ride. Visualise each repeat as a different climb in the Alps, it helps. Save one hard effort for the final ascent: long, steady, and mentally sharp.

Repeat a 3\u20135\u202fkm climb 4\u20135 times at varying intensities. Use lap-based segments with short flat or downhill connectors to simulate multi-peak stages. Combine one longer climb (or the longest available) with a series of punchier repeats.<\/li>\n<li>Consider \u201cout-and-back\u201d formats where each return includes a climb.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>How to ride it<\/h4>\n<p>Ride smart early, first climb at 90% FTP, settle into tempo for the next two. Use middle climbs to test yourself: alternate between the sweet spot and low-threshold. In repeats, treat each as a unique challenge (seated only, big gear, higher cadence, etc.). On your final major climb, execute a build from FTP to 110% \u2013 no surges, just progressive pressure. Fuel like you\u2019re racing. Descend fast but smoothly. Segment titles should now include \u201cepic,\u201d \u201cmadness\u201d or \u201caltitude sickness\u201d. You didn\u2019t just do a big ride \u2013 you simulated a stage finish in Courchevel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wondered how it feels to ride a brutal mountain stage in the Tour de France?
