About Giro Women – Longarone
The women's Corsa Rosa in the Dolomites
The Giro d'Italia Women, the most important stage race in women's world cycling organized by RCS Sport, stops in the Belluno area in the 2026 edition. On Wednesday, June 3, 2026, Longarone hosts the start of the fifth stage, the leg that insiders identify as the Dolomite "queen stage" of the race.
A great mountain route
The 146 km route connects Longarone to Santo Stefano di Cadore, winding entirely within the province of Belluno. The athletes will face the great Dolomite passes in sequence, including the Passo Tre Croci and the Passo di Sant'Antonio, before a final circuit repeated twice that includes the climb of Costa (about 4 km at 9%). The total elevation gain exceeds 3,400 meters, in a day that could redraw the standings for the pink jersey.
Sporting celebration for the territory
The stage start is much more than a race: it is an international showcase for Longarone and the Belluno Dolomites, with the start village, team presentations, and the popular festival that accompanies the passage of the pink caravan.
