Torino Nice Rally
The Torino Nice Rally sets off from Turin on 1 September 2026 and covers 700 kilometres of mixed surface across the Alps to the Mediterranean.
This is not a road race with feed stations and a broom wagon. The route runs on tarmac, gravel and old military roads over high passes, and riders carry what they need. Resupply is whatever village you reach before the shop shuts, which in the high valleys is early.
Seven hundred kilometres with that much climbing is a multi-day effort for almost everyone. The pace you can ride matters far less than whether your tyres, your bags and your sleep plan survive the passes.
Early September is the sensible window. The passes are open and the weather is usually settled, but at altitude it can still turn cold and wet overnight, and there is no quick way off the mountain when it does.
