The Experience
Portugal's oldest gran fondo sends riders deep into the Peneda-Gerês National Park — the country's only national park — through ancient granite villages, glacial valleys, and ancient oak and pine forests. The 131 km course is defined by two iconic walls: the Pincães climb (2 km at 10.7%) and the Ermida ramp (3 km at 6.5%, opening km at 11.8%), making it one of Portugal's most demanding one-day cycling events in its 13th edition.
