L’Étape Chile 2026

The wind and weather on L’Étape Chile

L’Étape Chile brings the Tour de France’s amateur series to Valdivia for the first time: 110 km on closed roads from Valdivia to the coast at Niebla and back via Cayumapu, with 60 km and 30 km options.

Valdivia is one of Chile’s wettest cities, and early November is a cool spring, so showers are a real possibility. On the coast at Niebla riders are exposed to the westerly and south-westerly onshore wind and the afternoon sea breeze, while a passing front brings northerly wind with rain. Set your start and pace above: the forecast follows the hours you’ll actually be riding. The wind on every stretch of the course appears once the route is added to this page.
