Seven days, three countries, and with every step a new horizon unfolds: Europe’s toughest stage race follows a different route through the Alps each year.
Historic trails, breathtaking scenery, and ever-changing challenges define the journey. Some participants return year after year, while others travel from as far away as New Zealand or South Africa. It is an experience set against a spectacular mountain backdrop, leading deep into the realm of pain and perseverance, and ultimately transforming every finisher into a hero.
With Stage 7, we are now approaching the final destination, Riva del Garda, after an intense week marked by constantly changing landscapes, unforgettable emotions, and no shortage of effort. Yet even along this seemingly direct route towards the lake, there are still around 1,800 metres of elevation gain to conquer over a distance of approximately 80 kilometres.
The town centre will be affected by the following traffic changes:
Race Route – Saturday 27 June
Participants will arrive from the cycle path and continue along Via Cattoni, Viale Vannetti, Largo Bensheim and Via Liberazione, which will be used in the opposite direction to normal traffic flow and closed to vehicles, before reaching the finish line in Piazza Garibaldi.
Road Closures
Normal traffic conditions will be restored as soon as possible.
Temporary Two-Way Traffic
Access to and exit from the town centre will take place via Viale San Francesco and Via Giardini Verdi respectively. The temporary traffic arrangements, particularly the two-way traffic system on the southern section of Viale San Francesco, will be managed by two temporary traffic lights and support staff.
