Next year, the Tour de Suisse Women will venture into French-speaking Switzerland, marking its debut in the region after three years in eastern Switzerland. The picturesque city of Champagne on Lake Neuchâtel has been selected as the Host City for the final two stages of the women's tour.

Tour Director Olivier Senn expresses his excitement about announcing the Host City for the upcoming edition while the current Tour de Suisse Women is still ongoing.

The third stage will conclude in Champagne on Monday, June 17, 2024, followed by Stage 4 commencing from the same location the next day.

The local Organising Committee, led by Roland, a renowned producer of pretzels and other grain-based snacks, is the driving force behind the preparations.

Located in the charming village of Champagne in northern Vaud, which boasts just over a thousand inhabitants, the city is nestled at the foothills of the Vaud Jura and borders Lake Neuchâtel. Marc-André Cornu, Director of Roland, eagerly anticipates welcoming the Tour de Suisse Women to Champagne in 2024.

The region offers an ideal setting for cycling, with diverse landscapes and routes ranging from the serene lake to the majestic mountains, showcasing vast regional vineyards along the way.

The love for cycling in the area is evident, as numerous recreational cyclists take pleasure in riding through these scenic surroundings on pleasant days. The Tour de Suisse Women aims to promote women's cycling and raise its profile in the region.

The expansion of the Tour de Suisse Women to western Switzerland after three years in the east is highly anticipated. Olivier Senn emphasizes the importance of generating enthusiasm for women's cycling across the country, making the inclusion of both stages in Champagne particularly exciting.

The Tour de Suisse Women's arrival in French-speaking Switzerland and its selection of Champagne as a Host City demonstrates the commitment to showcasing the beauty and diversity of different regions in Switzerland while promoting women's cycling throughout the country.
