CYCLING ON THE ROADS OF THE GIRO D'ITALIA AND THE TOUR DE FRANCE
The magic of cycling on the roads of the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France: the heart of the Cottian Alps. Participate in one of the longest-running Granfondos in Italy and Europe. Experience the bicycle together with other enthusiasts, on a day of celebration, where everyone wears the same jersey. Challenge yourself and your limits on the climb that leads to Colle Fauniera and on the other peaks of the route. More than 2500 meters in altitude for the Mediofondo and over 4000 meters for the Granfondo. These are just some of the reasons to participate in the 30th edition of GF La Fausto Coppi.

THE ROUTE AND ALTIMETRY OF THE GRANFONDO
177 kilometres for more than 4000 metres of altitude difference: there are not many Granfondo races in Italy that are so tough and difficult. The route of the Granfondo divides from that of the Mediofondo already at the gates of Cuneo. After crossing the Soleri viaduct, you turn towards Busca. After 30 km on the flat you face the first climb of the day, the one that leads to the sanctuary of Valmala (1,380 m) in Valle Varaita. Just time to catch your breath and, having passed Dronero, with the passage over the Devil’s Bridge, it is already time to tackle the second climb of the day. A climb towards Piatta Soprana and Valle Grana with peaks of 14% for about 9.5 km. Descending into Valle Grana, the route of the Granfondo joins that of the Mediofondo: the great difficulties of the queen climb of the competition await: Colle Fauniera. The route continues as described in the Mediofondo, returning to Cuneo, towards the finish line.
