About Tour de France 2026 — Stage 18 finish: Orcières-Merlette

Stage 18 of the 2026 Tour de France finishes at Orcières-Merlette on Thursday 23 July, the ski station above the Champsaur valley in the southern Alps where Luis Ocaña produced one of the Tour's legendary rides in 1971. The climb is a steady, punishing ramp out of the valley, and with only two Alpine days left the overall contenders can no longer wait. As a working ski resort, Orcières has genuine bed stock — station résidences and hotels — but a Tour finish fills a mountain station instantly, so book at once; Gap and the villages of the Champsaur below are the fallback. High-alpine walking, the Écrins national park and lake days at Serre-Ponçon wrap around the racing.
