TERRAIN MORPHOLOGY

The hill climb takes place on mixed terrain, combining forest sections and natural grassy surfaces, with a total length of 3.14 km and a maximum gradient of 28%. The start is located in Rocca d’Aveto (1,260 m above sea level), while the finish line is at the summit of Monte Bue (1,750 m above sea level).

The course includes different types of surfaces: a paved section, one with cemented stones, a dirt road section, and a grassy stretch (used as a ski slope during the winter season).

It is a technical and rewarding route that, from Prato Cipolla to the summit of Monte Bue, follows the ridge and offers striking panoramic views.

2nd LUCIANO MONTEVERDE TROPHY

With this event, we want to honor the memory of Luciano Monteverde, instructor and founding member of the Italian Unicycle School, who passed away prematurely in November 2024.

The race course is the terrain where Luciano often trained, where he would look out over the meadows and forests of his mountains.
