Ceresole Reale, Sunday Nivolet bike day

The event organized by the Paola Gianotti Academy and made possible by Gal Valli del Canaese and Interreg Alcotra explorlab

REAL CERESOLE. Sunday 19 June the climb of Colle del Nivolet for the first time will be entirely dedicated to cyclists who will take part in the event organized by the Paola Gianotti Academy and made possible by Gal Valli del Canavese and Interreg Alcotra Explorlab with the patronage of the Municipality of Ceresole Reale, of the Metropolitan City of Turin and the Gran Paradiso National Park, starting from Ceresole Reale to reach the top of Colle del Nivolet by bicycle.

A non-competitive cultural cycle ride that runs along one of the symbolic roads of the Gran Paradiso National Park to promote the territory and sustainable mobility.

Cyclists from all over Italy will climb one of the most beautiful climbs in the world with the possibility of using any type of bicycle: muscular or pedal assisted.

The meeting will be at 9 from Ceresole Reale at Pian della Balma to leave at 10 towards Colle del Nivolet and reach its 2,612 meters of altitude. Along the way there will be a refreshment break at the Serrù lake and cyclists will be accompanied by tourist cycle guides from the area from start to finish.

The road will be closed to traffic from Chiapili Inferiore to the Colle from 10.00 to 14.30 and only those registered for the event will be able to go up the hill.

The road will be blocked for any person or vehicle not registered in the event, including bikes.

«The Colle del Nivolet road is one of the most beautiful roads in the world that allows you to fully enjoy nature with its crystalline mountain lakes and its majestic peaks in an enchanted landscape within the Gran Paradiso Park. During my cycling adventures I have climbed many mountains and climbs but I think I can hardly find a climb as beautiful as that of Colle del Nivolet. This is why I believe very much in this event and I sincerely thank all its supporters because I am sure that in 2022 it is our duty to move towards an increasingly sustainable mobility that protects Nature by allowing everyone to use it in the most sustainable way possible. Many hills now have many days a year closed to motor traffic and this represents an excellent direction for a respect for our Planet which is increasingly in need. I really want to sincerely thank Gal Valli del Canavese, Interreg Alcotra Explorlab, the Municipality of Ceresole Reale, the Gran Paradiso Park and the Metropolitan City of Turin for making this incredible event possible “commented Paola Gianotti, ultra cyclist holder of 4 Guinness World Record which carries out two important campaigns on the respect of the cyclist on the road and on the planting of trees and president of the Asd Paola Gianotti Academy.
