The mountain bike granfondo in the heart of the Monte Cucco Park
About Gran Fondo del Monte Cucco
Cycling in the Monte Cucco Park
The Gran Fondo del Monte Cucco is the mountain bike granfondo that starts from Costacciaro, a village in the province of Perugia at the foot of the massif, and winds through the Monte Cucco Regional Park. Organized by ASD Cucco in Bike, it is an event loved by off-road enthusiasts for the beauty of the routes and the quality of the organization.
Two routes for every level
The race offers two routes: a long one of about 45 km with 1,750 meters of elevation gain, reserved for the fittest, and a shorter one of about 27 km with 901 meters of elevation gain, also suitable for those seeking a more accessible challenge. Both cross woods, trails, and single tracks in the heart of the park.
Nature and sport
Monte Cucco is one of the most evocative corners of the Umbrian-Marche Apennines, known for its caves, beech forests, and views that stretch over the surrounding valleys. Cycling in this setting makes the granfondo a sporting and naturalistic experience at the same time.
An event for bikers
The Gran Fondo del Monte Cucco attracts mountain bike enthusiasts from all over Italy every year, helping to promote Costacciaro and the park area as a destination for cycle tourism and outdoor sports in Umbria.
