The Alps Tour is a developmental professional golf tour for men which is sanctioned by the national golf associations of France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and Morocco. It is a third level tour, the highest level of men's golf in Europe being the European Tour, and the second level being the Challenge Tour. Other third level tours in Europe include the United Kingdom based PGA EuroPro Tour, the Germany based EPD Tour, and the Nordic League in the Nordic countries.

2007 Alps Tour events were scheduled to take place in the home countries of the five sanctioning countries. There are around twenty events a season and the total prize money for 2006 was just under one million Euros. Most of the players come from the tournament hosting countries. The top players on the Order of Merit win places at the European Tour Stage 2 Qualifying School (there are 3 stages), and the top 5 win limited playing privileges on the Challenge Tour. The Chairman of the Alps Tour is Donato di Ponziano.
