Giro Del Trentino

The Giro del Trentino (English: Tour of Trentino) is an Italian cycle road race. It is run typically mid-to-late April over four stages in the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region of Italy. In 1995 one of the stages went to Innsbruck and there have been several stages to and from Lienz in Austria since.

The short, sharp course of the Giro del Trentino, full of steep climbs, is seen as a good proving ground for the aspirants of the Giro d'Italia which usually starts a few days after the Giro del Trentino. In fact, several Giro del Trentino winners have won the Giro d'Italia including Francesco Moser, Gilberto Simoni, Paolo Savoldelli and Damiano Cunego.

It should not be confused with the similarly named Giro al Sas di Trento, which is an annual road running competition in the city of Trento.
