🚴♂️ Cycle Tourism 2026: Bike Events Between Verduno, Bra and Alba
Cycling Spring 2026 in the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato
Spring 2026 opens with unmissable events for those who love cycling through the rolling hills of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato.
These Piedmont landscapes, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offer breathtaking views and roads that feel made for cycling.
Here, sport and discovery always go hand in hand.
Between gravel routes, granfondo events and iconic road races, every ride becomes a complete experience immersed in nature, culture and outstanding food and wine.
🌿 Piemont Gravel | 10–12 April 2026
Piemont Gravel returns to Bra for its sixth edition.
It is a non-competitive gravel and bikepacking event, fully self-supported, designed for cycling enthusiasts and adventure-loving riders.
Both the start and finish are hosted at Centro Mariapoli P.A.F.O.M. – Villa Moffa, in Bandito di Bra.
Here, an elegant historic residence surrounded by greenery becomes the event’s base camp.
Participants can choose from four routes of different lengths, allowing everyone to find the distance that best suits their legs and their spirit of adventure.
Routes cross the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, alternating gravel roads, gentle hills and historic villages.
For this reason, Piemont Gravel is much more than a ride: it is a true journey through the territory.
