Gravel 06

Welcome to the Via Del Sale 550, an extraordinary journey through some of Europe's most breathtaking terrain. Spanning 550 kilometers, this ultracycling adventure takes you across the rugged landscapes of the southern Alps, straddling both France and Italy. The route winds through the wilds of Mercantour National Park, secret valleys in Piedmont, and dramatic coastal ridges along Liguria.
As you pedal from high-altitude military tracks to ancient paths marking the historic Via del Sale trade route, you'll encounter vertiginous mountain passes, secluded villages, and endless vistas where Alpine peaks meet the Mediterranean Sea. This self-supported challenge requires each rider to find their own pace as they navigate changing weather conditions and push beyond personal limits.
More than just a race, Via Del Sale 550 is an exploration of both physical boundaries and mental barriers, inviting cyclists to redefine what's possible in one of Europe’s most scenic yet demanding landscapes.
