Marmotte Granfondo Sestriere

On Sunday 24 July the Colle delle Finestre (2.178m) plays the lead role in the second edition of the Granfondo La Marmotta Sestriere - Colle delle Finestre. This infamous mountain pass, world famous after it was included in the Giro in 2005, is 18,5 km long and has an incremental percentage of 9,2 %. Once halfway, the concrete road makes way for an 8 km-stretch of gravel. Thanks to the impressive images of the visibly fatigued and tense cyclists on these dusty roads, the climb quickly made a name for itself on the international stage of cycling. It was here that Contador almost saw his win at the Giro 2015 disappear.

Participants of this Granfondo can choose between 110 km and 85 km, both starting in Cesana Torinese and finishing up in Sestriere (2.035m). The relatively short distances make this Granfondo accesible to everyone that loves the bike!
