Sette giorni pedalando sui più bei colli nelle valli del Monviso sulle tracce di Coppi, Pantani, Nibali, Froome e tanti altri, passando in luoghi ricchi di cultura, tradizioni e buona cucina. Durante la settimana non potrà mancare una giornata di relax in Spa in una degli angoli più spettacolari delle Alpi Occitane.

6 NIGHTS / 7 DAYS PROGRAM
1st DAY: Arrival at the hotel
Meeting with the guide at the hotel, briefing on the tour, free dinner and overnight stay.
2nd DAY: Tour of Colle Fauniera
Meeting with the guide at the hotel and departure for Colle Fauniera, a true giant of the Cuneo mountains. The climb from the Castelmagno side became legendary in 1999 with the no-quarter battle between Pantani and Jalabert. Since that time it has become a must for cyclists passing through the region. Your legs will be put to the test by an ascent of over 21km with several points featuring gradients of around 14%. The landscape will be very varied, passing from the cultivated countryside to the high altitude grasslands: an ideal setting for climbing. The technical descent towards Val Maira will help make the day even more adventurous. Return to hotel, dinner and overnight.
3rd DAY: Sant'Anna di Vinadio, the highest sanctuary in Europe
After breakfast, go up the Stura valley, the historic passage between the two sides of the Alps, up to the over 2,000 meters of the Santuario di Sant'Anna di Vinadio, the highest in Europe. The climb takes place in the valley that leads to the Lombarda hill, a pass towards Nice, reachable with an 8 km detour. The larches are the silent adventure companions of this climb. Return by the same route, dinner and overnight at the hotel.
4th DAY: Elva relaxation day
Departure after breakfast and transfer to Elva, for a day of complete relaxation in one of the most evocative corners of the Western Alps. At 1600 meters above sea level, you can savor the pleasure of a Spa overlooking the mountains from over 3000 meters. Return to hotel, dinner and overnight.
5th DAY: At the foot of the face
From Dronero to the base of Monviso: this is the challenge of the day, which promises to be demanding from a mileage point of view, but destined to leave you speechless once you reach your destination. The Pian del Re, destination of the day, constitutes a valuable naturalistic setting, where the Po river originates. All this in front of the imposing and spectacular pyramid of the Viso. Return to hotel, dinner and overnight.
6th DAY: The hill of the Lamb
The day includes the ascent of another "giant" of the region, the Colle dell'Agnello, which allows the passage between Val Varaita and Queyras from the top of its 2744 meters. Val Varaita is an alternation of mountain villages up to the inhabited center of Chianale, a place where human settlement gives way to a high mountain environment capable of taking your breath away as much as the slopes that await an average of 10% for all ten km remaining. Return by the same route, dinner and overnight stay.
7th DAY: Madonna del Colletto
On the last day we treat ourselves to a shorter and less demanding tour from the elevation point of view, but equally full of charm. The road that leads to Madonna del Colletto, about 8km uphill, allows you to reach a very important place in the history of the Cuneo area: in fact, it was here that the first partisan band of the region was born. Chestnut and beech woods are the ideal contour of this climb with an average gradient of 8%. Ring itinerary. End of services.
