Alfredo Binda Trophy

Women's World Cycling in Cittiglio

The Alfredo Binda Trophy is a classic of international women's cycling, included in the prestigious UCI Women's WorldTour calendar. Every year, in spring, the world's best cyclists compete between Luino and Cittiglio, in the Valli del Verbano in the province of Varese. The race is named after Alfredo Binda, a legendary champion originally from Cittiglio, five-time Italian champion and three-time world champion.

A tough and spectacular course

The Elite race starts from Luino and concludes in the center of Cittiglio after more than 150 kilometers, with a challenging finale made up of climbs and short, steep ascents that favor climbers and provide spectacular action until the very last meter. Alongside the main event, the Piccolo Trofeo Alfredo Binda – Valli del Verbano, reserved for Juniors and valid for the UCI Nations' Cup, also takes place.

A celebration of the territory

The Binda Trophy is much more than a race: it's a celebration for the entire province of Varese, which rallies around the race routes with thousands of fans. Broadcast live on television and followed worldwide, the event celebrates the deep connection between Cittiglio and the history of cycling, bringing top international sport to the hills of Verbano.
