Granfondo Città di Subiaco - Parco dei Monti Simbruini

Explore Italy's stunning Monti Simbruini Regional Natural Park with the Granfondo Subiaco, an event that immerses cyclists in the heart of one of Europe’s most enchanting landscapes. Starting from the picturesque village of Subiaco, known for its rich history and charming architecture, participants are treated to a journey through dense beech forests and past ancient Benedictine monasteries.
The Granfondo route (122 km with 2300m elevation gain) is designed for those seeking an epic challenge. This course features panoramic ascents that test the limits of even the most experienced riders, offering breathtaking views at every turn. For a slightly less demanding but equally rewarding experience, the Mediofondo (98.4 km and 1920m D+) winds through mountainous terrain with its own set of challenges.
Cyclists who prefer to enjoy the scenery without racing can opt for the Cicloturistica route (65.4 km with 1365m elevation gain), a non-competitive option that allows riders to soak in the beauty and tranquility of this historic region at their own pace.
The event is not just about conquering challenging climbs; it’s also an opportunity to connect with history. As you pedal through the park, you'll pass by the Monasteries of Saint Benedict and Saint Scholastica, where the serene atmosphere complements the physical demands of the ride. The pristine nature of the Simbruini mountains provides a backdrop that is both inspiring and humbling.
Whether you’re an avid cyclist or someone who enjoys leisurely rides through scenic routes, this event offers something unique for everyone interested in exploring Italy's natural beauty on two wheels.
