Join Daniele Bennati for a weekend built around one of Gran Canaria's most iconic climbs: the Gran Fondo Pico de las Nieves.
Every November, Arucas hosts the opening stage of the Gran Canaria Bike Week — a UCI-accredited gran fondo climbing to the island's highest point, with routes of 59 km and 125 km through some of the most spectacular volcanic scenery in the Canary Islands. This year, former pro rider and Grand Tour stage winner Daniele Bennati will be racing it himself — and a small group of riders will be there with him.
Unlike a long training camp, this is a compact, focused format: four days, one hotel, one climb, one goal. You'll recon the route with Daniele the day before the race, sit in on a technical briefing covering pacing, heart-rate and power management for the climb, plus a dedicated session on race-day nutrition and training with Paolo Alberati (A&G Sporting), and then line up together on race day. It's a rare chance to prepare for a gran fondo the way a professional would — and to do it shoulder to shoulder with someone who's ridden at the highest level of the sport.
Off the bike, the group stays together at Hotel Anfi del Mar, with meals, airport transfers and race entry all taken care of, so the only thing you need to think about is the climb ahead.
