Cycling in Piedmont is best from May to October. High alpine passes such as Colle dell’Agnello and Colle delle Finestre typically remain closed by snow until late May or early June, while the lower vineyard hills of Langhe and Monferrato are already suitable in spring. Summer brings full access to the high mountains, though temperatures can be hot in the valleys.

Major cycling events include the La Fausto Coppi cyclosportive in early summer and the professional Gran Piemonte race in October. For the best riding conditions, many cyclists prefer late spring and early autumn, when traffic is lighter and temperatures are more moderate.
