The first stage will set out from Saint-Maurice. The route will take the riders along the roads of Chablais and Vaud until they reach Renens/Western Lausanne. Western Lausanne will also be the setting for the departure of the second stage, in Prilly. On Thursday, 25 April 2013, the riders will continue towards Soleure Canton until they reach Granges where the Swiss velodrome will be inaugurated in 2013.

The 3rd stage, on Friday 26 April, will consist of three circuits around Payerne. The 4th on Saturday will stretch from Marly to Les Diablerets. This will be a big mountain stage with several first category passes on the program.

Finally, Geneva will be the exceptional setting for the final stage on 28 April 2013, with an individual time trial around the big fountain on both shores of the Lake. A superb panorama of the City of Calvin will be enjoyed by everyone with extensive rides along the magnificent lakeshore roads in Geneva.

This time trial will mark the end of a tour with a densely packed and comprehensive route giving all the competitors an opportunity to shine: road racers, climbers and sprinters alike. The route should be selective enough to designate a winner of the same standard as the latest champions: Cadel Evans and Bradley Wiggins.
