Stage four also finishes outside Switzerland, with the lumpy 167.2 kilometre stage heading from Nauders to Triesenberg-Malbun in Liechtenstein. The profile has two intermediate sprints [at 115.4 and 152 km], plus a pair of second category climbs. Arlberg Passhöhe is the first, 83.2 km after the drop of the flag, and then the Steg/Malbun ascent takes the riders to within 1.6 kilometres of the line
