2027 Tour de France Femmes Adds Team Time Trial and Volcano Finale

The 2027 Tour de France Femmes route was unveiled in Paris on October 22, with a finish on the dormant volcano Puy de Dôme, Telegraaf reported.

The announcement came alongside the men's route presentation. Both races now have their routes laid out for next year, according to The Local, but their closing tests will be different: the women finish atop a volcano in central France.

The October 22 unveiling set out a nine-stage women's race. Among its new features is the event's first team time trial, highlighted in Telegraaf's coverage.

The same report identified a stage in the style of Liège-Bastogne-Liège. That gives the route another distinct reference point alongside the new team event.

The finale was the other major announcement. Telegraaf reported that the race will end on Puy de Dôme, while The Local also identified the volcano as the women's finishing destination.

The announced route combines nine stages, a first team time trial and a demanding final destination. Marion Rousse, the director of the Tour de France Femmes, highlighted the brutal nature of the stages.

Puy de Dôme is the confirmed endpoint, not simply an obstacle along the way. World News CNA also identified it as the women's finale in its account of the route announcement.
