SHORT STAGE DESCRIPTION

This last stage takes us from Bolzano to mount Monzoccolo, as the vast plateau between San Genesio/Jenesien and Avelengo/Hafling is called. After a leisurely ride, we reach the start of the timed section in Terlano. From here on, we will quickly overcome 10 km and 838 m of climbing until we arrive in Verschneid/Frassineto. The route offers continuous views of the Adige Valley and you can check the altitude gained every time the road changes direction. Once we reach our destination, the route continues undulating to Meltina/Mölten, always in the shade of the larch forests, passing through meadows with Haflinger horses and large pastures. After passing the locations of Verano/Vöran and Avelengo/Hafling, the rapid descent towards Merano begins, with a difference in altitude of about 1,000 meters. From there, we will quickly cross the Adige Valley until we arrive in Bolzano, where lunch has already been prepared and everything for the final awards ceremony of the Giro delle Dolomiti, 2025 edition.
