The 2025 Alps tour will be packed with short but intense mountain stages again as it heads from Trentino, Italy, to Rienz, Austria, in late May 4.

The five-day tour of the Alps is the perfect way to prepare for the subsequent Giro d'Italia in 2025 with defending champions Juan Pedro López (Lidl-Trek), Ben O'Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) and Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) aboard. It is believed to be an effective method. 

Trentino is expected to make a formal bid to host the 2031 multi-disciplinary Super UCI World Championship, so the tour of the Alps will highlight the region's potential as an outdoor destination for cycling. Trentino will host the cross-country, downhill and Enduro Mountain Bike World Cup races in 2025.

The Euro regional tour of the Alps will be held from 4-21-25 next year, starting after the Easter weekend and ending on the Friday before Liège-Bastogne-Liège. 

Details of the race route were announced at Riva del Garda, on the northern summit of the lake. The highly influential Association of AIOCC Race Organizers will hold an annual meeting in Riva del Garda on Friday to discuss the 2026 race calendar, safety and pro-cycling reforms.Many sports race organizers, including Tour de France Coach Christian Prudhomme and Uci President David Lappaltiento, attended the presentation. 

The 2025 tour of the Alpine Race Route will include 739 stages covering 5 kilometers with an altitude of 14,700 meters. The start is at San Lorenzo Dorsino, west of Trento, and the subsequent stages continue the race north to Vipitenoracine and San Candido, and each stage

race ends in 2 stages in East Tyrol. Stage 4 exceeds 160 km and is arguably the most challenging of the race, climbing the Anras Oberleid Saddles, the Tessenberg and Cartischer Saddles, and the finish at Obertiriach is just seven kilometres from the summit. 

The 2025 Alps tour will end with a compact but potentially decisive 113-kilometer stage that echoes the dramatic finale of the 2022 edition of Rienz.When Romain Bardet secured the overall win and Thibaut Pinot finally won the stage despite the downpour rain.
