Vertical Metres: 2,740m
Passes: Asiago, Melignon, Passo della Fricca
The penultimate stage is the longest of the Schwalbe-Tour-Transalp at 150 kilometres, however, with the peak high point of the day and only 2,740 metres of ascent it is not the the hardest. The stage starts downhill from Crespano to the centre of Bassano del Grappa and on to Valstagna. Here the first climb of the day is a remarkable switchback path beaten into the rocks up to Foza (14.5km at 6.5%) and on to the green high plateau at Asiago. After the descent off the plateau to Arsiero the route climbs again towards Vena (19km at 6.3%). From here the riders proceed downhill for the final 45 kilometres via the Fricca Pass to the Cathedral Plaza in Trento.
