ERRATICO gravel 2026 – Agliè, Italy

• Date: 18 October 2026
• Location: Agliè, Italy
• Distances: Three routes (Long, Medium, Short)
• Event Type: Gravel Ride

The ERRATICO gravel experience returns to the roads around Agliè for a classic late-season gravel event in Italy. Set against the backdrop of the Canavese region, the ride is an exploration of the quiet landscapes that define this corner of Piedmont. Participants can anticipate a day of steady rhythm and reflection, a simple celebration of the bike and the changing autumn light. The focus is not on competition, but on the shared experience of a day on the gravel.

Three distinct routes are offered, catering to a range of ambitions and fitness levels. While specific distances are not detailed, the event provides a Short, Medium, and Long option, delivered to riders as a GPS track. The character of the ride shifts with each choice, from a more relaxed social spin to a demanding day in the saddle. The longer two routes require an Italian competitive cycling medical certificate, signalling a more significant physical challenge across the rolling terrain of the region.

The routes surrounding Agliè are known for their variety, winding through a typically Piedmontese landscape of morainic hills, forests, and tranquil rural paths. This is a region rich in history and agricultural tradition, and the ride offers a unique perspective on its character. The gravel under your tyres connects you to a place where castles dot the horizon and the rhythm of the seasons is felt deeply. It is a rewarding setting, representative of the terrain found at many other gravel events in Italy.

The day begins in Agliè, with on-site registration opening from the early hour of 6:45 on Sunday morning. Riders will find practical amenities available at the start, including parking, restrooms, and technical assistance to handle any last-minute mechanical needs. Once out on the course, feed stations provide welcome nourishment and a moment of pause. This thoughtful support structure allows riders to focus purely on the journey and the landscape unfolding around them, making this a well-regarded gravel event in Italy.

Beyond the ride itself, ERRATICO fosters a warm sense of community. The experience culminates in the famous "Agnolotto Party," a reserved post-ride meal for all participants. This gathering is a highlight of the day, where stories are shared over a plate of regional pasta until the early evening. It’s an atmosphere of camaraderie that perfectly complements the solitary hours spent on the bike, reinforcing the social spirit of this Italian gravel event.

ERRATICO gravel is a complete experience, blending a well-supported ride with the authentic flavours of the region. From the quiet roads to the convivial finish, it’s a day for those who appreciate the subtler rewards of cycling. Participation requires registration and a valid medical certificate, as outlined on the official event website, where full details and regulations can be found.
