The event series “Coop Ride the Alps“ is a notch above the usual cycling experience: on selected dates the roads leading over mountain passes will be reserved exclusively for cyclists. This is an opportunity not to be missed!
The Ticino event is called Granfondo San Gottardo and will take place on July 22nd, 2018.
The pass road over the Gotthard is under monument protection and has largely retained the appearance of the reconstruction completed in 1951: its famous granite cobblestones are notorious amongst cyclists and most of the original paved road has been retained and restored, as have the kilometre stones. It is the "crème de la crème" for pass cyclists.
Have a great ride!
