In July, major road and off-road events are held in the Olympic Mountains: the Assietta Legend, the Gravel Race and the epic Granfondo del Colle delle Finestre.
ASSIETTA LEGEND
The Assietta Legend race route runs along the ‘Assietta road’ at an altitude of over 2,000 m in a mountainous environment of great beauty, retracing sections of the race that have made the Tour dell'Assietta and the Mountain Classic famous, to create a complete, spectacular, scenic, tough and fun mountain route.
GRAVEL RACE
The Gravel Race is a new addition to the gravel world, offering a unique experience in a spectacular setting: the high mountains on the watershed between the Susa and Chisone valleys, with peaks over 2,500 m. This new formula is made possible by a magnificent territory, with its impressive military fortifications at high altitude, which have left us with a network of connecting roads, including the Strada dell'Assietta, which the Gravel Race bikers will ride all the way to the finish line in Sestriere.
GRANFONDO SESTRIERE – COLLE DELLE FINESTRE
The Granfondo Sestriere-Colle delle Finestre is one of the most beautiful granfondo races in Italy, with a route that winds its way through the stunning landscape of the Italian Alps. The two routes (Granfondo and Mediofondo) wind through the stunning alpine landscapes of the Alta Val Susa and Chisone. The great ascent of the Colle delle Finestre is considered to be one of the most beautiful and hardest climbs in Italy for two-wheel enthusiasts who want the epic feats of the great champions of the Giro d'Italia to be retraced in search of adrenaline and a challenge with themselves.
