Giro delle Dolomiti

A new edition of the Giro delle Dolomiti is ready to start. The historic cycling event—the oldest of its kind dedicated to Dolomites lovers—returns in 2026 with five days of pure road-cycling passion in the heart of South Tyrol.

From July 13th to 17th, 2026, participants will have the opportunity to ride along some of the most spectacular road routes in the region, tackling five different stages featuring timed sections on traffic-free roads and cycle paths.

Daily starts and finishes take place in the city of Bolzano, the event’s central hub and a meeting point for cyclists from all over the world. If you are fit and love climbing, the Giro delle Dolomiti is an unmissable challenge.
