Tour of the Alps in Valsugana

Save the dates: Thursday 18 and Friday 19 April 2024

The 2024 edition of the Tour of the Alps cycle race is entirely in Trentino, in Valsugana!

Thursday, 18 April
Stage 4 will again start from Leifers/Laives in Südtirol/Alto Adige and end in Borgo Valsugana, in Trentino, following 141.3 kilometers and almost 4000 meters of elevation gain. Without a doubt, these digits make it the queen stage of the 2024 Tour of the Alps.
After a quick warm up in the first kilometers, the riders will face the ascent toward St. Lugan Pass/Passo San Lugano. Once the racers enter the Val di Cembra, a new climb toward Brusago will prepare the peloton for an even more challenging 4 kilometers up to the Passo Redebus. A long, smooth downhill brings the pack to Pergine Valsugana, right before a new climb to the Passo del Compet KOM: 845 m of elevation gain in about 10 kilometers, featuring steep, double-digit grades.
The route continues descending toward Levico Terme, before a sudden turn skyward to tackle a new and highly demanding climb up the Passo del Vetriolo, the “Strada dei Baiti.” This climb will be followed by a long descent to bring the peloton to the valley floor before taking on the day’s final climb, the Colle San Marco. From its peak, the road features seven kilometers of average descending, and two kilometers of flat riding until the finish in Borgo Valsugana.

Friday, 19 April
The closing stage of the 2024Tour of the Alps is held entirely in Trentino and in Valsugana, with start and finish in Levico Terme. Despite the relatively short distance: 118.6 kilometers, the continuous ups and downs might still be decisive for the race’s final outcome.
The route kicks off with an undulating loop of about 20 kilometers, which crosses the finish line twice in Levico Terme. After that, the peloton tackles a second loop of about 25 kilometers that showcases completely different features as it winds through the Valle dei Mocheni.
The final part of the 2024 #TotA is a long and typical climb toward Palù del Fersina, which will be ridden twice, with a long downhill in the middle. Following the second descent, a flat segment takes the pack to the race’s last climb, the Valico di Tenna, followed by a false flat that ends with about five kilometers to go. The majority of these final five kilometers is downhill, yet the last kilometer in Levico Terme climbs once more to offer a grand finale worthy of the 2024 Tour of the Alps.
