The 2026 Giro d'Italia will not include stages starting or ending in the province of Sondrio. However, the Sondrio territory is about to secure the presence of the Tour de Suisse again. The 2026 edition of the Tour de Suisse will almost certainly have a stage with start and finish in Sondrio, entirely within Italian territory.

This was revealed by Alessandro Brambilla in today's Tuttosport, Saturday, November 22nd. In the 2025 Tour de Suisse, there was the Heiden-Piuro (Sondrio) stage won by Joao Almeida.

"The chances that the Tour de Suisse returns to the province of Sondrio for the 2nd consecutive year are concrete," admitted Gigi Negri, director of the Media Valtellina Tourism Consortium, "as practically only the contract signature is missing. We will probably sign it next week. In addition to the men's Tour de Suisse, the organizers will also guarantee the women's edition, always with a stage from Sondrio to Sondrio. In the routes, we will try to include iconic climbs from our province."
