Start your Journey with the Iconic Ascent to Basilica di Superga.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Turin is blessed with some of the most iconic climbs in cycling. The Basilica di Superga<\/strong> climb is a must-do, a challenge rewarded with spectacular views of the city and the surrounding Alps. This climb is inextricably linked to the crash of the plane containing Torino's entire football team in 1949. Grande Torino was never the same after that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also Not Wrong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you have a taste for it and want to explore the area even further, the road to Colle della Maddalena<\/strong> is a climb that will be remembered. Again, you are treated to stunning panoramic views and passage through picturesque villages. Also the views over the lakes of Avigliana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee stops, caf\u00e9s and restaurants<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Plan rest breaks at cycle-friendly cafes and restaurants. Places such as Caff\u00e8 Torino<\/strong> not only offer delicious coffee and pastries, but also welcome cyclists with open arms.
