Flower Gravel

Flower Gravel begins and ends at the Sanctuary of Vicoforte, situated in the Monregalese hills near the Cuneo Alps. This spring gravel cycling event offers three route distances, welcoming both novice and seasoned cyclists, and is suitable for gravel bikes, mountain bikes, and E-bikes. The routes traverse dirt roads, grassy fields, forest paths, and narrow country gravel lanes, winding through rural villages and fields of spring flowers. The Sanctuary of Vicoforte serves as a distinct starting point, marked by the world's largest elliptical dome. The primary ascent follows the path from Breo to Piazza in Mondovi, featuring a passage by the scenic terrace near the Belvedere tower. Participants new to this type of event may opt for a 45 km route with approximately 700 meters of elevation gain.
