L’Etape Mondovì

Mondovì and the Monregalese region offer a wide range of experiences that go beyond the cycling event itself, turning the occasion into a true weekend of discovery. Alongside the granfondo, visitors can take part in cultural tours of the historic Mondovì Piazza district, explore its Baroque churches, historic palaces, and city museums, or enjoy a hot-air balloon flight, one of the territory’s signature experiences.

The Monregalese area is also ideal for hilly routes suited to e-bikes, gravel riding, and cycle tourism, as well as trekking itineraries and panoramic walks among villages, vineyards, and rural landscapes. There is no shortage of family-friendly offerings, with outdoor activities, widespread events, and moments of urban animation.

Food and wine play a central role as well, with tastings of wines, local products, and traditional cuisine, visits to wineries and local producers, markets, and initiatives dedicated to the Monregalese’s outstanding specialties. Local cuisine reflects a deep bond with the territory: ravioli del plin, Barolo-braised beef, tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, and cheeses such as Raschera DOP are just some of the dishes to be savored.

Among the most important cultural landmarks is the Sanctuary of Vicoforte, also known as the Basilica of the Nativity of the Most Holy Mary or Regina Montis Regalis, home to the largest elliptical dome in the world. Located in the municipality of Vicoforte, just a few kilometers from Mondovì, the sanctuary is recognized as a national monument and has been granted the title of minor basilica for its exceptional artistic and architectural value. A rich and varied mix of experiences that makes L’Étape Mondovì an event capable of uniting sport, culture, and quality of life.
