The year was 1992, when the 75th Giro d’Italia, which counted champions such as Indurain, Chioccioli, Chiappucci, and Fignon, brought to the fore one of the climbs hitherto unknown to most: the Alpe Segletta, a climb of 8 km and 500 meters with an average gradient of 9%.

It is one of the most coveted climbs for hikers because of its roughness and the striking environment in which it is pedaled.
