Swiss stage race

Tour de Romandie 2026

A Swiss week that starts with a prologue, keeps looping through Vaud and Valais, then ends uphill in Leysin.

Tour de Romandie 2026 packs 851.3 km into a Villars-sur-Glâne prologue and five road stages across western Switzerland from April 28 to May 3. Ovronnaz is the first real GC hook, the Broc to Charmey queen stage doubles back over Jaunpass, and the final Lucens to Leysin climb keeps the week open right to the last summit finish.

Editorial note

Spoiler-safe archive lane

Spoiler-safe archive note for using the completed Romandie route desk without result details.

Romandie has moved out of live-watch mode, so the safe page now works as a route archive: use the route book, direct organizer PDFs, and TV page for timing and stage-shape context. The Broc to Charmey and Lucens to Leysin mountain days remain the key route references here; winner, stage-result, and final-classification context belongs on the full desk only.
