About Tour of Italy in Feltre
Feltre, Capital of the Tour
The passage of the Tour of Italy is always an extraordinary event for the cities hosting starts and finishes. In 2026, it's Feltre's turn, in the province of Belluno, which will be the starting point for Stage 19, one of the most feared Dolomite stages of the entire Giro d'Italia: 151 kilometers from Feltre to Alleghe (Piani di Pezzè), with approximately 5,000 meters of elevation gain and a sequence of legendary climbs including the Passo Giau, the Cima Coppi of the edition.
The Pink Night
On the eve of the start, the city experiences its grand celebration: the Pink Night. From the afternoon, the historic center transforms into a widespread festival, with shows, music, entertainment, aperitifs in bars, and shops open for evening shopping. In the evening, Piazza Maggiore becomes the pulsating heart of the event, featuring the Palio di Feltre parade, performances, the official stage presentation, and a DJ set with food and wine stalls.
A Community Celebration
The Tour's passage is an opportunity for Feltre to showcase itself to the world, highlighting its UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites and its cycling tradition. The event is part of the regional program linked to the race and involves the entire Feltre community with a week of initiatives, meetings with champions, and events spread throughout the territory.
