With its six moutain stages, three more than this year, the 2010 Tour de France will cater to mountain climbers.

While L'Alpe d'Huez will not be included — a first in several decades when the famed mountain hasn't part of the route for two consecutive years — the hilly itinerary will feature three mountaintop finishes and the ascent to the Tourmalet in the Pryrenees twice.

The official video of the race, produced in 3D, provides a keen view of the route.
