Tour of the Alps 2026 information
The Tour of the Alps, previously known as the Giro del Trentino until 2016, is a 2.Pro-level Italian stage race that was first raced in 1963 and has become a staple of the spring calendar.
The race is a key build-up race for the first Grand Tour of the season, the Giro d'Italia. The race is often won by a rider targetting the Giro GC, and last year Michael Storer (Tudor) took victory after five days of racing, ahead of Thymen Arensman (Ineos Grenadiers).
As the name suggests, the Tour of the Alps route takes place mainly in the Alps in Northern Italy and Austria.
The 2026 edition will be the 49th running of the race and will take place from Monday, April 20, to Friday, April 24.
