On Sunday, September 27, 2026, Liguria returns to the spotlight as the capital of top-level amateur cycling with the 13th edition of the Granfondo Internazionale Alassio. This unmissable event combines the charm of the Riviera di Ponente with the steep and spectacular climbs of its hinterland.
The Route: 90 km of pure excitement
This edition’s route unfolds over a unique 90.6-kilometer stage with a 1,790-meter elevation gain. After a start that caresses the beaches and cliffs of Alassio, cyclists will tackle a technical and hilly route, ideal for those who want to test their late-season fitness and for those who want to enjoy breathtaking views suspended between the azure Ligurian Sea and the peaks of the Maritime Alps Apennines.
The Epic Finish at Madonna della Guardia
The true highlight of the Granfondo Alassio will be the uphill finish. The finish line is located atop the legendary Sanctuary of the Madonna della Guardia. The final kilometers will require maximum pedaling effort, but they reward athletes with a breathtaking 360-degree view of the gulf, anointing the winners in an almost mystical atmosphere.
Five-Star Services and Hospitality
The Granfondo Internazionale Alassio is more than just a race, it’s a true celebration of sport for the whole family. Registered participants will receive a complete package that includes:
• Exclusive race pack with technical and local products.
• Mechanical and medical assistance along the entire route.
