Now in its 49th edition, the increasingly popular Giro delle Dolomiti is much more than just an amateur cycling event: It's an all-round experience that combines sport, passion, discovery, and the desire to be together. The Giro delle Dolomiti 2026, scheduled from July 13 to 17, winds through more than 400 km of landscapes, divided into five stages which, based at the FieraMesse, Bolzano's exhibition centre, explore primarily the Dolomites, but also other passes and roads of South Tyrol, up to the legendary Stelvio Pass at impressive 2,757 metres of altitude.
As well as the beauty of the Dolomites, the Giro delle Dolomiti's growing international appeal is also due to its unique format: It is ridden as a group at a controlled speed, which allows the riders to fully enjoy the scenery and the relaxed atmosphere, but each stage also includes a timed section, closed to traffic, which awards the stage winner and contributes to the final rankings.
A successful mix of relaxation and competition, characterised by a strong community spirit and fun, attracting cyclists from all over the world, with the only requirement being a valid medical certificate for competitive cycling. With decades of experience, the well-established organisation provides each participant with a complete service, including mechanical assistance, massages, refreshment points, and lunches along the route, with the utmost attention to the safety.
The Giro delle Dolomiti is also an experience for those who do not intend to ride, but just want to accompany the participants, thanks to the rich program of guided activities:
The Giro delle Dolomiti is a unique opportunity to experience an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the Dolomites. Whether you have competitive ambitions or just want to cycle in good company, the GdD will give you unforgettable emotions and memories!
