Signature Stages — Define Your Ride

Thirty years of guiding cyclists around the world has taught us one thing: no two riders are the same. Some wake up hungry for altitude and endless climbs, others prefer the steady rhythm of a scenic line through valleys and villages. This is why we’ve designed two distinct Signature Stages each day—routes that give you the power to shape your own journey.

At times, these routes weave together at a control point—a chance to regroup, connect, and share the road before rolling on. And every evening, no matter which line you chose, we all return to the same table, the same beers, the same celebration.

• Touring Route – A flowing ride, steady miles, sometimes gentler gradients. A classic rhythm where the reward is time to look around, breathe, and take in the landscape.

• Passhunter Route – A bigger test: more miles, more elevation, steeper ramps. The playground for riders chasing summits and stacking vertical meters.

It’s choice—yours to make, every day. Follow the flow, or hunt for passes.

With our industry-leading guide-to-rider ratio and multiple support vehicles, you can count on RAID’s hallmark level of service on every stage. From the rider tackling the hardest climbs to the one rolling a steadier rhythm, every detail, every kilometer, every moment is supported with precision and care.

For traveling partners, this freedom is everything. One of you might slip into town early, wander through a brewery, or soak in an onsen. The other might chase the high roads until late afternoon. Different paths, same destination. That’s the beauty of RAID: you ride your ride, they ride theirs—and you meet again at the end of the day, stories in hand.

This is what we mean by Signature Stages. Not just routes on a map, but carefully drawn lines that honor both the terrain and the rider’s will—backed by the unmatched service RAID has built over three decades.
