La Punt - Santa Maria
Stage Overview
Commentary David Loosli
The undisputed Queen Stage of the Tour de Suisse 2025 takes place on the fifth day. The highest point of the Tour awaits shortly after the start. At 2,284 metres above sea level, the Julier Pass is the roof of the Tour this year. However, the stage, which is located entirely in the canton of Graubünden, has a lot more in store for the riders. The Julier Pass is followed by the San Bernardino Pass (2,065 metres above sea level) and, the icing on the cake, the steep and difficult final climb to Santa Maria in Calanca. The climb up to Santa Maria is probably unknown to many riders, making things all the more exciting.
Touristic Highlights of the Stage
La Punt
At the foot of the Albula Pass and directly on the river Inn, visitors can admire historic Engadin houses in La Punt.
Oberengadiner Seen
The Upper Engadine lake plateau between Maloja and St. Moritz presents itself sometimes almost as a kitschy tableau.
San Bernardino Pass
The pass road leads through a mystical moorland landscape, past the Laghetto Moesola up to 2065 metres above sea level.
Santa Maria in Calanca
The mountain village warmly welcomes visitors with its nature and hospitality.
