Tour of the Alps 2026

Five compact Alpine stages, the Martell summit finish, and a late circuit above Bolzano keep this week sharp.

Tour of the Alps 2026 packs 762.7 km into five Alpine stages from Innsbruck to Bozen/Bolzano. After the Innsbruck opener, stage 2 turns straight toward the first summit finish at Martell/Val Martello, stage 3 drags the race over Hofmahdjoch and Andalo into Arco, stage 4 stacks Passo Bordala and Passo del Redebus before Trento, and the short final day still has the Nobls/Montoppio circuit above Bolzano.

Editorial note

How the final stage was shaped

Spoiler-safe route recap for the short final Alpine stage.

The Trento-to-Bozen/Bolzano closer is compact by design: Palù di Giovo comes at km 11, Kalterer Höhe/Alta di Caldaro is the first categorized climb at km 54, the first pass through Bozen/Bolzano still leaves 50 km to race, and the Nobls/Montoppio circuit plus the Oberglaning/Cologna di Sopra bonus sprint define the final hour before the fast descent back to town.

Race-page hero text now sits on a stronger scrim, so bright mountain photos no longer wash out the title and intro copy. Long race pages now make the sticky race rail easier to navigate, with a clear scroll cue and a more obvious desktop scrollbar.
