The Arlberg Giro route

As part of the preparations for the Arlberg Giro 2025, the official route has been adjusted.
This change is necessary due to ongoing safety measures along the "Silvretta Hochalpenstraße".

Current Situation – “Silvretta Hochalpenstraße”

As widely reported, extensive safety measures have been underway on the Vorarlberg side of the “Silvretta Hochalpenstraße” since the rockfall in summer 2024. These works continue to affect the accessibility of the section between “Partenen” and “Bielerhöhe”. As of now, a permanent reopening is highly dependent on weather conditions and can only be granted on a day-by-day basis.

We are in close and constructive contact with the relevant authorities, who are providing strong support, and we are closely monitoring developments.

Alternative route – challenging, safe and scenic

To guarantee maximum planning certainty and a smooth race experience, we have already prepared an alternative route, which will now be used for this year’s Arlberg Giro 2025.

This alternative leads from “Partenen” through the “Ganifer” Valley up to the “Kops Stausee” and the “Zeinisjoch” into the “Paznaun” Valley – and brings no disadvantage to you as participants. Quite the contrary:

• The new route is approximately 8 kilometres shorter.
• The elevation gain remains almost identical. This means you can expect a punchy climb at the end of the Montafon section.
• The route gains additional appeal through new panoramas and a varied topography.

Thus, the athletic challenge remains intact – and is enriched by an additional dimension thanks to the new course. The heart of the Arlberg Giro, the unique blend of endurance, speed, alpine scenery, and the Arlberg Giro family, remains fully preserved.
