“A single man is leading the race. His jersey is white and blue, his name is Fausto Coppi”.
Few words of the radio commentary by Mario Ferretti are enough to recall memories of the all-time greatest cycling race, run on the extraordinary stage of the high mountains on the French-Italian border.
An unmissable trip for all cycling lovers, faithfully retracing, in two or three days, the original route of the Cuneo – Pinerolo stage of the 1949 Giro d’Italia.
The proposed itinerary, with the climbs and difficulties shown here, is, like all DR cycling Tours proposals, fully customizable, as a custom suit, on the needs, tastes, preparation of each client, with maximum flexibility– both by planning the trip, and on the field– thanks to the management in small groups with the assistance of qualified guides and the support of equipped vehicles.

Maddalena, Vars, Izoard, Monginevro, Sestriere: an exciting and terrible sequence of mountain passes, that Fausto Coppi completed on a solitary escape, chased by Gino Bartali e by the peloton at an immense distance.
Starting in Cuneo, we will head up towards the Stura of Demonte Valley, on the old military road leading to Vinadio fortress, far from cars and surrounded by the woods. We will gently climb to nearly 2000 metres of the Maddalena pass, to descend in the Ubaye Valley and go up again, on the challenging slopes of the Col de Vars.
Sestriere, lying in the green of the Alpine pastures, will be the last challenge of our trip before the long way down to Pinerolo through the whole Chisone Valley, crossing Fenestrelle and his fortress, the “Chinese wall” of the Alps.
