La Fausto Coppi

La Fausto Coppi is an Italian granfondo cycling event held in late June, crossing local valleys, villages, and mountain roads. Participants can select from three routes: the 111 km Mediofondo featuring 2,550 meters of elevation gain, the 172 km Granfondo with 4,330 meters of climbing, or the 101 km Fauniera Classic, which is a non-competitive option. The event emphasizes climbing over flat speed, with the extended Granfondo route providing a full day of cycling in the hills. The race includes an official jersey and a Cicli Mattio salon associated with the event weekend. Its local economic impact was assessed at over 2 million by a Politecnico di Torino study.
