Tre Valli Varesine. An icon of cycling.

Tre Valli Varesine: one race, one territory, more than a century of cycling history

The Tre Valli Varesine is much more than a cycling race: it is one of the strongest symbols of the deep connection between Varese and cycling. Organised by the Società Ciclistica Alfredo Binda, it belongs to the great tradition of Italian classics and crosses a landscape of climbs, lakes, pre-Alpine roads and iconic sections that have shaped generations of riders. Its roll of honour reflects the prestige of the race: Fausto Coppi, Gino Bartali, Eddy Merckx, Francesco Moser, Giuseppe Saronni, Vincenzo Nibali, Primož Roglič and Tadej Pogačar are just some of the champions who have won the Tre Valli. Saronni and Gianni Motta also share the record for the most victories. A story that continues to live on the roads of Varese and through its most recognisable symbols.

From the professional race to the Gran Fondo Tre Valli Varesine

The same territory that hosts some of the biggest names in international cycling has also become a major reference point for amateur riders thanks to the Gran Fondo Tre Valli Varesine. Part of the UCI Gran Fondo World Series, it brings cycling enthusiasts onto the roads of the Varese area in an international competitive setting and, when included in the relevant UCI calendar, can offer the opportunity to qualify for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships. Climbs, constant changes of pace and scenery stretching between lakes and the Pre-Alps make the event an experience that combines competition and territory. This connection between professional and amateur cycling is what makes the Tre Valli so distinctive: on one side, a historic classic with an exceptional roll of honour; on the other, the chance for enthusiasts to race on the same roads themselves.
