Organizers unveiled the 2027 Women's Giro route, a nine-stage race linking Viareggio to the Aosta Valley, featuring a decisive mountainous final day.
The 2027 Women's Giro revealed its route this Tuesday, November 3. The race will take place from May 29 to June 6, 2027, spanning nine stages, with the start in Viareggio, Tuscany, and the finish expected in the Aosta Valley. The total route covers 1,132 kilometers with 17,450 meters of elevation gain, a demanding profile that promises an intense week of racing.
The first part of the race will cross Tuscany, offering a mix of flat and hilly sectors. Organizers designed an opening phase conducive to sprinters and breakaway specialists, before the terrain gradually takes over. The intermediate stages should allow the favorites to test their condition, without offering major general classification showdowns.
The final stage, particularly mountainous, was designed as a judge of peace. The slopes of the Aosta Valley will be the setting for a final battle that could reshuffle the podium cards. Time gaps are expected to be significant, and the overall victory will likely be decided during this ultimate day. Organizers hope to deliver an undecided spectacle until the very end.
This unprecedented route marks a commitment to strengthening the Women's Giro's appeal. By linking the Tyrrhenian coast to the Alps, the race showcases the diversity of Italian landscapes. Teams will need to manage sustained logistics and rigorous effort allocation. Stage details, particularly exact climbs and altitudes, will be communicated later by the organizers.
