On Saturday, June 16 there are 2 stages. A 102 km stage from Dudelange to Luxemburg in the morning, including the Cote de Hostert and Cote de Clausen, the latter to be climbed 6 times. In the evening there is a 14.5 kilometre time trial around Bettembourg.

The final stage is on Sunday, June 17, and it is a 172 kilometre leg from Wiltz to Diekirch, climbing the Cote de Kaundorf, Knupp, Cote de Vianden and Groensteen.
