Etappe 1 - Nice → Grenoble

After the “Autour de Nice” and the welcome dinner on Sunday evening in Nice, the 71st edition of the Tulpenrallye kicks off on Monday morning. The Côte d’Azur is left behind as the route heads north. Participants quickly find themselves over 1,000 metres high, driving through the Alps. After a coffee stop, they cross a beautiful mountain pass rising above 2,000 metres. Not far from Gap, a lunch break awaits. Later, it’s time for the first regularity test, followed by a drive further north to the first overnight stop in Grenoble.
