Detalles de la ruta
Stage 2 : The 2nd stage of the Algarve Bike Challenge is the queen stage of the race. Tavira’s sierra is demanding, and despite a maximum altitude of only 500 meters, its saw-like orography ensures that when you’re not descending, you’re climbing! However, in this edition, the climbs will be distributed more evenly across the stage, featuring shorter ascents compared to previous editions, along with an increased number of singletracks. The stage start with a road section of 6km before it follows through the gravel roads to face the first climb.
Stage 3 : The 3rd and final stage of the Algarve Bike Challenge 2025 offers a very different course compared to stage 2. With the lowest total climbing in its history, riders will cycle exclusively through the barrocal region of the Algarve, situated between the coast and the mountains. This area is much flatter; however, the terrain is rocky and technically more challenging, featuring loose surfaces, narrow trails, and constant changes in direction. These characteristics are typical of the barrocal.
Start address: Rua José Pires Padinha, Tavira, Portugal
Finish address: Rua José Pires Padinha, Tavira, Portugal
