Cuneo to the summit of Colle Fauniera.
Granfondo La Fausto Coppi climbs from Piedmont countryside into the Maritime Alps across three major cols — Colle di Sampeyre, Colle Fauniera, and Madonna del Colletto — linked by fast, technical descents. Road surfaces are paved throughout but demanding: excellent on the approach roads, rough and patchy with potholes on Fauniera's upper reaches, where altitude and gradient dominate.
For the rider seeking a complete, prepared finish across Granfondo La Fausto Coppi's three Piedmont cols on seven to eleven hours a week, this twelve-week plan builds the sustained climbing and technical-descent handling that Colle Fauniera's altitude and rough upper reaches demand.
INSIDE THE FINISHER PLAN — 7–11 HR/WK
Includes zone-tailored structured rides for your devices, built-in strength with video walkthroughs, heat-training protocols for racing in the hot stuff, peloton skills workouts, and nutrition and hydration guidance.

Hey, I'm Matti. I spent 11 years at TrainingPeaks, where they trusted me to teach coaches how to coach at TrainingPeaks University. I raced Amateur Elite with Rio Grande Cycling Team and podiumed my age group at Unbound 200 in 2026. I have a degree in biology and exercise physiology from St. Olaf. I'm also a middle-aged dad of three, so I know training doesn't happen in a vacuum. I help gravel riders get stupidly fast without becoming the person who brings a food scale to a party
