Tour de Suisse - Stage 5: Villars-sur-Ollon
Overview
Intro
The final stage is the tour's queen stage—with over 4,000 meters of elevation gain.
On June 21, 2026, the 5th stage of the Tour de Suisse will lead to Villars-sur-Ollon. High above the Rhône Valley, a challenging mountain finish awaits the riders, where endurance and climbing ability will be crucial. Amid stunning Alpine scenery, visitors will experience thrilling moments of racing and an electrifying atmosphere. Be there as the pros battle their way up the steep climbs and fight for every precious second.
The climb to the Col de la Croix begins even before kilometer 0. This is followed by a long descent toward Aigle, before the route heads straight back uphill. The stage has practically only two modes: uphill or downhill—breathing room is rare. The riders complete three laps of this demanding circuit.
The Tour de Suisse is far more than just a professional cycling race. It’s a cycling festival for everyone, where the experience takes center stage. Since the start and finish are now in the same location, a central gathering spot has been created that invites visitors to linger: the FanZone, the Bike Expo, and Kids World offer something for everyone. Those who want to be even closer to the action will find the perfect setting in the hospitality offerings. And cycling fans lining the streets will also get their money’s worth, as the FanConvoy rolls past the pros and hands out giveaways to spectators.
