Stage three continues in an easterly direction, beginning in Brunnen and ending 228.7 kilometres later in the Austrian town of Nauders. Shortly after the start the peloton will climb approximately 500 metres on a non-classified hill; later on they will fight it out on the Hors Categorie Flüelapass, which tops out at 2383 metres some 60 kilometres from the finish. Following a fast descent two intermediate sprints feature before the third category hill of Norbertshöhe; the summit is just two kilometres from the finish, making this a possible springboard for a late attack.
