Aarau-Heiden
Stage Overview
Distance:
195.6 km
Elevation:
2’928 m+
Category:
Hilly
Difficulty: 3/5
Commentary David Loosli
From the map one might assume that the 3rd Stage is a classic transition stage. On closer inspection, however, it is clear that the cyclists have a tough day in the saddle ahead of them. The final kilometres in Appenzellerland are particularly tough. I expect that the almost 3,000 metres of elevation gain might be too much for the sprinters and that only a reduced field of strong puncheurs will be able to compete for the day’s victory.
Touristic Highlights of the Stage
Aarau Old Town
Explore the picturesque old town with its artistically painted roof gables, the so-called “Dachhimmel”.
Herisau
The historic village centre with its picturesque alleyways and many fountains is well worth a stroll.
Appenzell
Famous for the most charming Swiss traditions such as yodelling, cheese-making, ceremonial Alpine cattle drives and folk costume dancing.
Heiden
High above Lake Constance, the spa town of Heiden not only offers clean air, but also magnificent views of the lake and mountains.
