The Tour de Suisse (English: Tour of Switzerland) is a one week UCI World Tour stage race held annually in June. The race was first held in 1933 and has evolved in timing duration and sponsorship. With the Critérium du Dauphiné it is a proving ground for the Tour de France and part of the UCI World Ranking calendar. Like the Tour de France and the Dauphiné the Tour de Suisse offers mountain climbs and at least one individual time trial.
