The 2026 Giro d’Italia will pass through Veneto with two stages for the men’s competition and four for the women’s. On May 28, the 18th stage will be held from Fai della Paganella (Trento) to Pieve di Soligo (Treviso), covering 167 km; on May 29, the Feltre-Alleghe stage, entirely in the Belluno area, will cover 151 km.

Veneto will once again take center stage in the 2026 Giro d’Italia, with stages passing through some of the region’s most picturesque areas, including cities of art, hills, and historic villages. In addition to the spectacular sporting event, the Veneto stages will be a unique opportunity to promote Veneto as a destination for bike tourism, a rapidly growing segment both nationally and internationally.
On the Giro d’Italia and Giro d’Italia Women 2026 riding through Veneto, Paolo Bellino, CEO of RCS Sports & Events, said: “The 109th edition of the Corsa Rosa will mark a new chapter in the wonderful story that has linked the Giro d’Italia and Veneto for over 100 years. This region has given cycling great champions and hosted countless memorable pages in the history of this sport. I am certain that, once again, Veneto will welcome the Giro d’Italia caravan with great warmth and enthusiasm, further confirming its leading role with the inclusion of the Giro d’Italia Women, yet another testament to the central importance of this territory within the international cycling landscape. The Giro d’Italia and the Giro d’Italia Women are extraordinary showcases in which plains, hills, mountains, historic cities and natural landscapes become protagonists, just like the athletes themselves”.
The roads that will host the professional cyclists will offer the public unique views, from the vineyards of the Prosecco hills to the winding roads of the Dolomites, passing through the historic squares of cities such as Verona, Vicenza, and Treviso. Each stage will be an invitation to discover the area by bike, offering alternative itineraries and cycle routes designed for everyone, from professionals to road bike and mountain bike enthusiasts.
The Giro thus becomes a tool for promoting the Veneto region, combining sport and sustainable tourism. The region highlights its excellence: bike-friendly accommodation, safe routes, specialized refreshment points, and services dedicated to cycling enthusiasts, offering authentic experiences suitable for all levels.
