What is a Gran Fondo / Cyclosportive

The Gran Fondo, or cyclo-sportive, is a timed cycling event open to everyone, from occasional riders to passionate enthusiasts.

Unlike professional or inter-club races, this is not a confrontation between licensed racers, but an inclusive and unifying event where each participant chooses their own challenge.

Perform, surpass yourself, or simply enjoy a sporting experience in the heart of a beautiful region.
