The 1st Tour de Suisse took place from August 28 to September 2, 1933. It was held in five stages over a distance of 1253 kilometers.
Overall winner was the Austrian Max Bulla . Bulla, the most successful cyclist in his country at the time , had only arrived in Zurich with the night train an hour before the start of the race after starting in Belgium and France. The tour started in Zurich with 60 drivers, 45 of whom crossed the finish line on the last day - also in Zurich. There were particularly many failures on the second stage from Davos to Lucerne , on which the winner of the first stage, Luigi Macchi , had to get off the bike four kilometers before the finish. Charles Antenen , one of the strongest Swiss, was hit by a car and had to wait a long time for a spare wheel to be able to continue.
It is estimated that around 500,000 spectators stood at the roadside.
