The 2017 Tour of the Alps was a road cycling stage race that took place in Austria and Italy between 17 and 21 April 2017. It was the 41st edition of the re-named Giro del Trentino and was rated as a 2.HC event as part of the 2017 UCI Europe Tour.
Team Sky and one of its riders won the overall classification for the third year in succession, as Geraint Thomas became the first British rider to win the race. Thomas won the third stage of the race, taking the leader's fuchsia jersey as a result, and ultimately won by seven seconds ahead of Thibaut Pinot (FDJ), who finished all five stages within the top-five, including a stage win on the final day. The podium was completed by AG2R La Mondiale's Domenico Pozzovivo, a further thirteen seconds in arrears of Pinot.
In the race's other classifications, Androni Giocattoli–Sidermec rider Egan Bernal took the young rider classification on the final day from Cannondale–Drapac's Hugh Carthy; Alexander Foliforov (Gazprom–RusVelo) and Pascal Ackermann (Bora–Hansgrohe) led from start-to-finish as they won the mountains and sprints classifications respectively, while the teams classification was won by the BMC Racing Team.
In October 2016, it was announced that the race would expand from four to five days. The route for the race was announced on 17 February 2017.
