Next year the Tour de Suisse will visit R\u00fcschlikon (ZH), Ambr\u00ec and Car\u00ec (both TI) as well as Blatten (VS).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alongside the previously announced Hubs \u2013 in 2024 Vaduz hosts the opening weekend and Villars-sur-Ollon the final weekend \u2013 the first Host Cities for the men\u2019s Tour de Suisse are revealed. David Loosli, responsible for planning the route, says: \u201cWe are delighted that we will be present in three Swiss linguistic regions. These Host Cities promise an exciting route with a variety of topographical challenges for the cyclists.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t\"\"\n

R\u00fcschlikon on Lake Zurich makes its debut<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Tuesday 11th June 2024, the finish line of Stage 3 will be in R\u00fcschlikon. It is the first time the town on the left bank of Lake Zurich hosts a stage of the Tour de Suisse. As well as the finish, the start of the fourth stage will also take place in R\u00fcschlikon on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

OC President, Donat Grimm, is confident that the Tour de Suisse will be perfectly at home in R\u00fcschlikon : \u201cI think that the beautiful municipality of R\u00fcschlikon on Lake Zurich, is a charming and modern Host City perfectly suited to Switzerland\u2019s top cycling event. We are close to the heart of Zurich and yet the atmosphere here is pleasantly rural and welcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three Host Cities in Ticino<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ticino features three times next year. On 13th June 2024, Stage 5 heads from Ambr\u00ec along a challenging route to Car\u00ec. From the start in front of the HC Ambr\u00ec-Piotta ice rink the stage culminates in Car\u00ec with a mountain top finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince it last visited in 2016, we are ready to give the Tour de Suisse a warm welcome next year. The final climb to the holiday resort of Car\u00ec with its 22 hairpin bends is reminiscent of the legendary Alp d\u2019Huez and promises to be spectacular,\u201d says OC President Gabriele Gendotti<\/p>\n

In addition to numerous historical and cultural sights,\u00a0<\/em>the Leventina District offers a wide range of outdoor leisure activities. In summer there are wonderful hikes, climbing treks and cycle routes. Car\u00ec scores highly as a winter sports resort with its ski slopes, winter hiking trails and various activities on the ice.<\/em><\/p>\n

The starting gun for Stage 6 will be fired the next day also in Ticino. The exact location will be announced in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Blatten returns as a Host City for the first time since 1974<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Blatten near Naters last hosted a stage of the Tour de Suisse, the start list included illustrious names such as Louis Pfenninger and the great Eddy Merckx. The Belgian went on to win the GC that year. Fifty years later and a mountain top finish is once again on the programme in Blatten. The winter sports resort hosts the finish of Stage 6 on Friday 14th June 2024.<\/p>\n

Mario Gertschen, CEO of Blatten-Belalp Tourism, is clearly looking forward to the event: \u201cWe are very excited to be able to organise a stage arrival in Blatten-Belalp again 50 years after the last event. We will do everything possible to ensure that the mountain finish is an unforgettable experience for all participants and spectators.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blatten, the picturesque mountain village belonging to the municipality of Naters, is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Switzerland in both summer and winter. The Tour de Suisse is a great opportunity to showcase the unique natural beauty of the area around the Great Aletsch Glacier to a national and international audience. The finish in Blatten will be a major celebration for locals and visitors alike.<\/em><\/p>\n

The remaining host cities for 2024 will be revealed in the coming weeks. Complete route details will be announced in March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
