Stage 14 covers a demanding 155 kilometres from Mulhouse to Le Markstein. The climbing begins almost immediately with the ascent of the Grand Ballon. The road rises for 21.5 kilometres to the 1,336-metre summit, averaging 4.8 per cent, although several sections reach gradients of 7 to 8 per cent.
On the descent, the riders pass through Le Markstein for the first time, but there are still 120 gruelling kilometres remaining. Next comes the Col du Page (9.8 km at 4.7%), followed by another ascent of the Ballon d'Alsace (8.9 km at 6.9%), which also featured on Stage 13.
The final major obstacle is the Category 1 Col du Haag, an 11.2-kilometre climb averaging 7.3 per cent. From there, the riders join the Route des Crêtes, where a gently rising final 5.5 kilometres lead to the finish at Le Markstein. It was on this stage in 2023 that Tadej Pogačar defeated Jonas Vingegaard.
