Seven months after Juan Pedro López's emotional victory in Levico Terme, the Tour of the Alps revealed its 48th edition route at Riva del Garda Congress Centre on Thursday, November 21, 2024. The euro-regional stage race will take place from April 21 to 25, 2025, across the Euregio territories of Tirol, Südtirol/Alto Adige, and Trentino.
The presentation gathered cycling's most prominent figures, with the world's leading race organizers in attendance ahead of tomorrow's AIOCC General Assembly - marking the organization's first-ever meeting on Italian soil.
The prestigious audience included UCI President David Lappartient, UEC President Enrico Della Casa, AIOCC President and Tour de France Director Christian Prudhomme, alongside the Presidents of the Italian and Austrian Cycling Federations, Cordiano Dagnoni and Harald Mayer.
The #TotA 2025 comprises five stages covering 739 kilometers and featuring 14,700 meters of elevation gain. The race opens in Trentino, with SanLorenzo Dorsino hosting both the pre-race activities on Easter Sunday and Stage 1. The second stage departs from Mezzolombardo before moving into Südtirol/Alto Adige for two compelling new stage finishes in Sterzing-Ratschings/Vipiteno-Racines and Innichen/San Candido, set against the backdrop of the 3 Zinnen/3 Cime peaks.
The race concludes with two stages in Osttirol (East Tirol). After an important stage from Sillian to Obertilliach, the finale returns to Lienz - mirroring the 2022 edition where Romain Bardet secured the overall victory following a spectacular display that saw Thibaut Pinot celebrate in the storm.
The route embodies the distinctive Tour of the Alps format: selective climbs staying below 2,000 meters altitude, compact stages, and minimal transfers. This proven formula continues to attract both champions and teams, all motivated to deliver aggressive racing and spectacular performances. Beyond the sporting aspect, the race celebrates the Tirol-Südtirol/Alto Adige-Trentino Euroregion through deep community engagement: all of it is part of the signature "TotA format" that many observers now consider World Tour-caliber.
