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.

Route snapshot

Stage overview

The short final stage asked for repeated climbing and precise timing before the fast return into Bozen/Bolzano.

  1. Palù di Giovo right away The opening sprint came after barely five kilometres of racing, so the final day started uphill almost immediately and never really settled into a flat transfer phase.
  2. Alta di Caldaro before the first city passage Kalterer Höhe/Alta di Caldaro was the first categorized climb and it landed before the riders reached Bozen/Bolzano for the first time, which meant the route was already selective before the last 50 km began.
  3. Nobls/Montoppio decides the finale The circuit above the city put the first-category Nobls/Montoppio climb at the heart of the closing hour, then used the Oberglaning/Cologna di Sopra bonus sprint and a rapid descent to sort the last attacks before the finish.

Overview

Stage 5 spotlight

A closer look at the short but still dangerous Trento-to-Bozen/Bolzano finale.

At only 128.6 km, the finale still ended up feeling nothing like a procession into Bozen/Bolzano. Trento sent the riders uphill after five kilometres to Palù di Giovo, the Alto Adige run added Kalterer Höhe/Alta di Caldaro before the first pass through the finish with 50 km still left, and the decisive move still had to come on the Nobls/Montoppio circuit above the city. The official schedule kept the day to a 12:00 start and a 15:15 finish, so the closer stayed tense from the first climb to the last descent.

Editorial note

How the final stage was shaped

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

The Trento-to-Bozen/Bolzano closer stayed compact all the way through the finish: Palù di Giovo came at km 11, Kalterer Höhe/Alta di Caldaro was the first categorized climb at km 54, the first pass through Bozen/Bolzano still left 50 km to race, and the Nobls/Montoppio circuit plus the Oberglaning/Cologna di Sopra bonus sprint defined the decisive last hour before the fast descent back to town.
