Tips

alvento – italian cycling magazine

October 26, 2022

The Sanctuary of Oropa is a famous place for those who love cycling due to a historical event, perhaps the apex of Marco Pantani's career. 82nd Giro d'Italia, 30 May 1999: going up to the Sanctuary from the Cossila side, Pantani has a mechanical problem and is forced to lose contact with the leaders and recover. Gradually, thanks to an epic ride, he overtook his opponents and went on to win with twenty-one seconds over Jalabert. The last time the Giro d'Italia arrived here, at the Marian shrine dedicated to the Black Madonna, in 2017, Tom Dumoulin won.

Very important climb, once you get to the sanctuary you feel at peace with yourself.

Today's climb to the sanctuary of Oropa is the classic one made famous by various stages of the Giro d'Italia.

The sanctuary of Oropa is certainly the most important and "imposing" Marian sanctuary in the Alps, with the old basilica of the Black Madonna, built in 1600 and the upper basilica from the nineteenth century.
