About Gravity Race Monte Alpet
Downhill action in the Monregalese Alps
The Gravity Race Monte Alpet is the event that brings elite mountain bike downhill racing to the mountains of the Municipality of Roburent, in the heart of the Monregalese Alps, in the Province of Cuneo, Piedmont. The event is held on the historic and technical Monte Alpet track, above the village of San Giacomo di Roburent—a course that has previously hosted Italian Cup races and remains one of the most demanding in the region.
The race is part of the Gravity Race interregional circuit, created to bring together the best gravity discipline athletes from Piedmont and the Aosta Valley. The Roburent stage carries double weight: in addition to contributing to the circuit standings, it awards the Piedmont Regional Downhill Champion jersey, attracting athletes from across the entire peninsula and the islands.
A day of pure adrenaline
Downhill is a spectacular specialty: riders tackle a predominantly dirt course characterized by technical sections, natural and artificial obstacles, berms, and jumps. Over 160 riders compete on Monte Alpet, divided into twelve categories ranging from the youngest (starting at age 13) to masters over 60, in a setting that combines sport, nature, and a passion for the mountains.
The Monte Alpet Bike Village
The event is hosted at the Monte Alpet Bike Village, one of the most well-known hubs for gravity cycle tourism in Piedmont, featuring dedicated downhill trails and a technical, challenging final track. The layout of the mountainside, the ample space, and the organizers' experience make San Giacomo di Roburent a reference point for downhill racing in the Cuneo area.
Organization
The event is organized by ASD Gravity Generation of Mondovì, a sports association affiliated with the Italian Cycling Federation, with the support of technical partners and the institutional backing of the Piedmont Regional Council, the Province, and the municipal administration of Roburent. The stage is included in the regional calendar of Federciclismo Piemonte and represents an important moment of sports and tourism promotion for the entire Monregalese territory.
Roburent, mountains to be enjoyed all year round
Roburent and its tourist hamlet of San Giacomo are a popular destination in the Cuneo Alps, frequented in winter for skiing and in summer for mountain biking and hiking. The Gravity Race is the perfect opportunity to discover this corner of Piedmont in a sporty and adrenaline-filled way, with spectators watching the descents along the Monte Alpet track.
