Enduro Fest

An off-road day in Gambasca

Enduro Fest is the motorcycle event that transforms Gambasca, a small village in the Po Valley in the province of Cuneo, into the Piedmontese capital of enduro for an entire day. This is a non-competitive event: no rankings or stopwatches, just a celebration designed to experience the joy of off-road riding in good company, focused on adrenaline and sharing among enthusiasts.

The heart of the event is Piazza Gauthier, the meeting point and logistical base for the day, from which the trails wind through the natural terrain surrounding the village. Despite being a village of only a few hundred inhabitants, Gambasca offers the ideal setting for off-road riding: the backdrop of the lower Po Valley, at the foot of Monviso, provides varied and evocative tracks.

The two circuits

Enduro Fest offers two loop circuits, designed to satisfy both those seeking the rhythm of natural off-road terrain and those looking to refine their technique:

• Enduro Test — a technical and varied loop of approximately 6 km, ideal for those who love the rhythm and variety of natural off-road riding.
• Cross Test — a shorter, faster track of about 3 km, excellent for perfecting cornering technique.

The two circuits can be tackled freely throughout the day, allowing each participant to choose their own pace and alternate between the courses.

The start of the season

Held at the end of February, Enduro Fest traditionally marks the start of the Piedmontese motor season: it is the first major off-road gathering of the year in the area, an opportunity to fire up the engines after the winter break and reconnect with the community of two-wheel enthusiasts from the Saluzzo area and the entire province of Cuneo. For a small village like Gambasca, hosting this day represents a major attraction and a vibrant boost to the local area.
