Queralt will vibrate again at Volta 2027

Edition 106 of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya It reveals its layout. To the already known high finishes in Espot and La Molina, the magic of Queralt. A port that was completed for the first time in the Volta last 2024 and whose winner was the stellar Tadej Pogacarwho scored his first Volta Ciclista a Catalunya a day later.

On this occasion, Berga will be the protagonist of the end of the stage and, unlike previous years, where the start had been from the town of Berga, the start of the stage will take place in another town that will be announced soon.

The best cyclists in the world will once again face the challenge of climbing Queraltin a day that promises excitement, effort and spectacle until the last meter. Before reaching this mythical peak, the Volta will also discover new routes through the Baix Berguedà that were unknown until now and that will turn the region into the setting for a new golden page of Catalan cycling.

Almost six decades after the last presence of the Volta a Catalunya in Berguedà, the Catalan round once again placed the region at the media epicenter of international cycling in 2024. That stage captivated fans both for the demand and sporting potential of the route and for the extraordinary response from a dedicated public that turned the ascent to Queralt into one of the great images of that edition.

After three consecutive years with a presence in the area, the Volta will once again experience the loyalty and passion of the Berga fans with a new stage finale in Queralt in 2027. The day will previously cover several sections of the Baix Berguedà, on a route that will allow us to discover new scenarios in the region before facing the final ascent to one of the most emblematic ports in the territory.

The promotion to Queralt It is already part of the recent history of the Volta with world-class protagonists. As we mentioned previously, in 2024, Tadej Pogačar won the race’s first arrival at this stage, while Jonas Vingegaard achieved an outstanding victory in the 2026 edition, strengthening his position at the head of the general classification. Two leading names in international cycling that have contributed to projecting Queralt and Berguedà around the world.

In 2027, the Volta will once again test the best cyclists in the world in this setting, with a finale that will combine sporting demands, scenic appeal and the drive of a fan who has already shown that Queralt and its region are much more than a finish line.

The mayor of BergaIvan Sánchez, said that “we are happy with the link that has been created between the Volta and Berga, since, for the fourth consecutive year, the capital of Berguedà will once again host the test. This year, an important part of the stage will pass through lands in the Berga area, which will allow us to discover endless roads like those we can find in Italian Tuscany, and will end in Queralt, one of the most emblematic places of the Volta a Catalunya in the recent years.”

Sánchez recalled that “if Berga is once again part of the Volta calendar it is because this pairing works thanks to the participation of outstanding cyclists and teams, and, above all, the public.” In this sense, the mayor of Berga has highlighted the importance of “the local entities that make cycling beat during the rest of the year and are also the driving force that makes this stage a success.”

For its part, Ruben Perisgeneral director of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya, has highlighted the involvement of the Berga City Council and the loyalty of a fan that has become one of the main protagonists of the return of the race to the region.

“After the great reception we received in Berga in 2024, a city that the Volta had not visited for more than sixty years, we could not imagine that the following years would give us such special moments and images that are already part of the history of the event. The commitment of the Berga City Council, the Provincial Council of Barcelona, and the Generalitat of Catalonia, as well as the support of local entities that live cycling with an extraordinary passion, has been key for the “In 2027, Berguedà will once again have a prominent role in the Volta route, with a stage finish as emblematic as Queralt.”

The Volta Ciclista a Catalunya is already warming up for its 106th edition, which will be held from March 22 to 28, 2027. For seven days, the Catalan territory will become the scene of the best world cycling, in a race that is already beginning to reveal the start and finish locations of the seven stages that will make up the route.
