With routes winding through the picturesque hills and charming villages of Bergamo’s province, and taking on the legendary climbs of the region’s valleys, the race offers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the scenery that earned Bergamo its top spot in the rankings.
A Bike-Friendly Airport
One of the many advantages of participating in the BGY Airport Granfondo is its proximity to Milan Bergamo Airport (BGY).
