2024 Tour de Suisse Women Information

Taking place in Switzerland,  the fourth edition of the Tour de Suisse Women is a four-day race, June 15-18. 

This year, the 327.4km event starts in Villars-sur-Ollon and finishes in Champagne; the route will be held in the Cantons of Thurgau and St. Gallen.  

The Tour de Suisse Women held its inaugural edition in 2021, and it joined the Women's WorldTour in 2023, the highest level of women's professional racing.

The Tour de Suisse Women made its long-awaited return to the calendar as a two-stage event four years ago. It was not the first Tour de Suisse for women, as a five-day event was held in 2001 and won by American all-rounder Kim Baldwin. In its return after a 20-year hiatus, the 2.1 ranked women's race took place on the opening weekend of the men’s eight-day WorldTour Tour de Suisse.

In 2021, Lizzie Deignan (Trek-Segafredo) won the Tour de Suisse Women, overtaking Elise Chabbey (Canyon-SRAM) in the second and final stage of the race. Going into stage 2 with a four-second deficit on Swiss rider Chabbey, Deignan targeted the intermediate sprints where she picked up five bonus seconds, finishing the race one second ahead of Chabbey. Marlen Reusser (then Alé BTC Ljubljana) placed third.

The second edition of the Tour de Suisse Women moved up to the UCI Pro Series and expanded to four stages in 2022, adding a time trial to the road stages. Once again, the final stage saw a dramatic battle for overall victory. Lucinda Brand (Trek-Segafredo) took the stage win on day four and the overall title in 2022. Brand led overnight leader Kristen Faulkner (then BikeExchange-Jayco) into the last 200 metres of the summit finish in a two-up sprint, but the American slid out and crashed in the final bend. Faulkner got up and crossed the line 15 seconds back, losing both the stage and the overall title. Pauliena Rooijakkers (then Canyon-SRAM Racing) finished third overall.

In 2023, its first foray onto the Women's WorldTour calendar, Marlen Reusser (SD Worx-Protime) secured the overall victory, with her team winning three of the four stages.
