The Giro d’Italia is not only the most beloved race in Italy, but also a driver of value for the gorgeous territories it crosses.
For the 2026 edition, this commitment is further strengthened through a concrete environmental regeneration project carried out together with VAIA, Sustainability Partner of the Giro d’Italia 2026.
Three stages, three territories, three collective reforestation initiatives open to everyone, joining forces to leave a positive mark along the route of the Corsa Rosa.
The Project
Creating a positive impact on local communities is at the heart of the initiative: a tangible action that transforms the passage of the Giro into an opportunity for care and giving back.
Through public tree-planting days, the project brought together local communities, families, schools, and partners in three reforestation initiatives carried out across Veneto, Trentino, and Friuli Venezia Giulia.
- 3 reforestation days
- 3 regenerated territories
- 3,000 new trees planted together
On the dedicated page, VAIA and Giro d’Italia, visitors can discover all the reforestation activities carried out along the stages of the 2026 Giro d’Italia.
A model that combines sport, environmental sustainability, and community participation, making a concrete contribution to the enhancement and preservation of the Dolomites’ natural heritage.
A concrete commitment to local territories
Each stage involved in this project becomes a place of action and awareness.
Reforestation is not just a symbolic gesture, it is a concrete intervention aimed at:
– regenerating local ecosystems
– increasing biodiversity
– raising community awareness about the value of trees and the environment.
A way to transform the passage of the Giro into a lasting legacy.
Sport and Sustainability
For years, the Giro d’Italia has promoted projects dedicated to sustainability, such as Ride Green and BiciScuola.
In this context, the collaboration with VAIA – Sustainability Partner 2026 – represents yet another tangible step forward: combining the power of sport with environmental protection through concrete and measurable actions.
A lasting legacy
The Giro travels across Italy, but leaves much more than a nice memory. It leaves a tangible mark, made of trees, regenerated territories and engaged communities.
A green trail that continues to grow, stage after stage.
