About 6 Hours of Bernezzo
A six-hour mountain bike challenge
The 6 Hours of Bernezzo is one of the most beloved mountain bike endurance races in the province of Cuneo. The event takes place in the municipality of Bernezzo, at the entrance to the lower Grana Valley in Piedmont, and is organized by the Rampignado Team, a long-standing reference point for off-road cycling in the Cuneo area. The formula is simple and adrenaline-fueled: pedal for six consecutive hours on a circuit to be completed as many times as possible.
The circuit and the route
The track measures approximately 7,000 meters per lap, with an effective elevation gain of 185 meters, and is designed to offer a bit of everything: stretches of gravel road, fun descents and single tracks, forest trails, short asphalt sections, and the famous TOBOGA, a technical passage that has become the race's trademark. It is a mix that rewards both leg power and riding technique, set in a natural environment that alternates between countryside, woods, and views of the Grana Valley mountains.
Race categories
Participants can choose from several formats to suit both competitive athletes and those looking for pure fun:
- Teams of 4, who take turns during the six hours;
- Teams of 2, for those seeking a more demanding challenge;
- SOLO category, reserved for the most resilient riders who tackle the entire duration alone.
For children and non-competitive riders (minimum age 10), there is a leisure ride in the afternoon along the roads of the lower Grana Valley, with free registration: a great opportunity to involve the whole family.
Atmosphere and tradition
Beyond the competition, the 6 Hours of Bernezzo is a village festival dedicated to cycling: at the end of the race, there is a pasta party and awards ceremony, with a total prize pool that in recent editions has reached 2,700 euros. The event brings Piazza Martiri della Libertà in Bernezzo to life, serving as the logistical heart of the event, and attracts enthusiasts from across the province of Cuneo and the rest of Piedmont. A fixed appointment in early September for those who love mountain biking and team spirit.
