GRANFONDO IL LOMBARDIA

In our experience, we think you will enjoy this specific Tour if you are a serious, experienced cyclist who seeks long challenging climbs and descents and long days on the bike.

Lake Como’s mountain weather can be extreme, and riders need to be experienced and comfortable with wet roads, rainy conditions, and traffic.  The event happens late in the season, and temperatures can be quite cold, especially at the start.

CHEER THE LAST AND BEST
PRO MONUMENT RACE

EXPLORE THE PEARL OF THE ALPS

With the nearby alps rising from its deep blue water, Lake Como has attracted aristocrats for centuries. Whether on a bicycle or at a beautifully prepared meal featuring local delicacies, you will enjoy the unique riches that have made this region a popular retreat since Roman times.

THE ULTIMATE IN CYCLING HISTORY

Scout the fondo route and visit the shrine of Madonna del Ghisallo, dedicated to the protection of cyclists. Inside, you’ll find bikes, gear, and other artifacts of our heroes honoring our sport. Across the piazza, visit the extensive contemporary Cycling Museum, with extraordinary exhibits showcasing bicycles past, present, and future.

CHEER THE PROS IN THE BEST MONUMENT RACE

The Monuments are the most difficult and prestigious one-day races in pro cycling. Lombardia attracts top pros eager to battle for the last victory of the season. As a VIP, you’ll be on the finish line for the last sprint.

GO FOR GRAN FONDO GLORY

As a VIP rider in the Lombardia Granfondo, you’ll start at the front, a position you’ll appreciate as the pack flows through ionic towns to the legendary climbs of Madonna del Ghisallo & Sormano. The course will test your skills and the lakes, mountains and towns make this one of Italy’s most beautiful challenges. Whether you race it or ride it, you’ll feel victorious.
