Cycling capital Innsbruck
In less than five months, the TOUR Transalp 2025 will start in Innsbruck. Tyrol's capital has been the secret cycling capital of Austria since the 2018 World Cycling Championships.

Innsbruck has been a stage location for various major cycling races over 30 times - be it the Tour of the Alps or the 2018 UCI Road World Championships. The 2018 World Cycling Championships are not only remembered for their exciting cycling races, but also for the beautiful television images: the picturesque old town and the impressive mountain backdrop are inextricably linked with the Tyrolean capital. You couldn't wish for a better stage location for the start of the TOUR-Transalp - especially due to its easy accessibility.
