The cross-border region that goes from Saluzzo to Guillestre stretches over the Infernotto, Po, Bronda, Varaita, Maira, Grana and Stura valleys in Italy and the Guilestrois, Ubave, Embrunais and Queyras valleys in France. Every year, the roads of this Alpine region, dominated by the majestic Monte Viso, welcome thousands of cycling lovers, who can challenge themselves with the most spectacular Mountain Grand Prix sections of both the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France.
