This year, I had the unforgettable experience of participating in the 36th edition of Granfondo La Fausto Coppi in Cuneo, Italy — a legendary race that truly tests your limits and rewards you with breathtaking beauty, world-class organization, and the most passionate cycling atmosphere I’ve ever witnessed.
was in Bormio two years ago, back in September, and I left knowing that I’d have to return. There’s something about these mountains that stays with you — the roads, the atmosphere, the sheer beauty of it all. Coming back in 2025, felt like coming home for me, but this time I wanted to experience the Stelvio in a new way.
Cycling the Passo Giau is a dream that many cyclists have. We recently rode this legendary cycling pass in the Dolomites, so that we could share our knowledge and experience with you. Now, it’s your turn to ride one of the best cycling passes in Italy!
This end of season ride with Stefan and Assault to Freedom team is situated in the northern Italian mountain region of the Dolomiti. This epic ride takes you to several Italian cycling summits and is a true cycling challenge in the Italian mountains
Corvarra is a great hub for cycling in the Italian Dolomites. This route, taking in the Paso Podio is a classic ride in the region.
The Selleronda bike day is an epic day and festival of cycling, based in the beautiful Italian Dolomites. This year, I joined over 2000 riders from all over the cycling globe, and had an awesome adventure with my friends 🙂
Stefano and the Assault to Freedom team in Italy, always set out to create epic routes. This one is a classic ride, taking on both the Col du Telegraphe and Col du Galibier in one swoop. It will test you, both physically and mentally, and can be best tackled by a brief overnight stay, making sure that you really enjoy the trip.
A great cycling route from north of Milan, cycling to Lake Como and then cycling in the Italian mountains, before descending back to Como and heading homewards.
The Colle dell’Agnello links Italy and France, and at 2,744 m (9,003 ft), it is the third highest paved road pass of the Alps. This route takes in a hard ascent, with a break in the mountains before the return. Maybe consider an overnight 😉
Crossing between France and Italy, Col de la Lombarde (or Colle della Lombarda) is a high mountain pass cycle route, above the French ski resort Isola, and above the Italian mountain resort of Vinadio, famous for its historic Forte.
