From East Tyrol to Lake Garda! While the TOUR Transalp 2026 route is not entirely new, it is still challenging. But first impressions can be deceiving. For 2026, we have created a completely new, explosive mix that will make the eyes of even the most seasoned Transalp participants sparkle. This new Dolomite route has been made possible by securing Falcade as a stage location once again after 14 years. This beautiful town is situated in a sunny high valley at the foot of the Passo Valles and the Pale di San Martino. Possagno, located at the foot of Monte Grappa and originally scheduled for the cancelled 2020 edition, will finally make its debut as a stage location. It also boasts a very special finish. The new locations open up new possibilities. We're not just talking about boring connecting pieces, but real highlights that will be part of the TOUR Transalp for the first time. Even the Dolomites, one of the settings of this stage marathon, have some surprises in store with brand new passes. The combination of the sparkling gems of the Dolomites, Passo Staulanza and Passo Duran, is brand new to the Transalp programme. Did you know that these two passes were part of the 19th stage of the Giro d'Italia just four weeks ago? Monte Grappa, an integral part of the eastern route for many years, also boasts a spectacular panoramic road that we have never ridden before. In fact, it is probably the best panoramic road on this mountain. Further down, we have also explored a few enchanting vineyard roads around Valdobbiadene that are really fun to ride, following in the footsteps of 'Prosecco Cycling'. The Staller Sattel, arguably the most beautiful border crossing between East and South Tyrol, has only been included in the programme twice before, so it's still very new. Combined with a few absolute Transalp classics, such as Passo Rolle and Passo Giau, as well as the extraordinary Transalp climb through Valstagna and the atmospheric finish in Riva del Garda harbour, it's a dynamite combination. Warning: danger of sensory overload and risk of adrenaline rush! The TOUR Transalp 2026 is going to be amazing! Are you ready for it?
