Piemontgravel 2027

Starting from Bra, in the heart of Piedmont, Piemontgravel invites gravel and bikepacking enthusiasts to enjoy four days of adventure. There are no rankings and no imposed pace: everyone chooses their own start time, the distance they ride each day, and how they experience the journey. It's a format that appeals to more and more cyclists, as the event has grown from 360 to 730 participants in three years.

Four routes are offered: 111, 222, 333 and 444 km, so you can choose your distance based on your level and the time you have available. All of them start and finish at the main base camp in Bra. Along the way, the routes link vineyards, hills, gravel roads, narrow trails, forests and historic villages, all the way to the foothills of the Alps. A large part of the route crosses the landscapes of the Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and among the most emblematic of the region.

To break up the effort, five intermediate base camps are located along the routes. You can stop there, rest and spend the night, indoors or in your tent, before hitting the road again. This lets you tackle long distances at your own pace, whether you're aiming for a first bikepacking weekend or a true immersion in ultra-distance.

All weekend long, the Bra base camp is the beating heart of the event. Participants will find camping, spots for vans, food, music, and local wines and beers. It's the place for meeting up before the start and reuniting on return, to share memories of the ride.

With no timing but with its share of challenge, Piemontgravel combines adventure, freedom, landscapes, gastronomy and local culture. It's a great gateway to ultra-distance, in one of the most distinctive cycling regions in Italy.
