Giro d’Italia 2026 Climbs

The Giro d’Italia 2026 is over, but the roads are still there. This guide brings together the key climbs from the 2026 route and shows how to use them for your own Italian cycling trip.

From Blockhaus to Pila, from the Swiss climb to Carì to the brutal Dolomites queen stage over Passo Duran and Passo Giau, the Giro 2026 route left behind a strong set of rideable mountain objectives. Some are famous cycling names. Others are perfect route anchors for riders looking beyond the obvious Alpine classics.
