Guided Tour

Museo del Ghisallo

The museum opened to the public in October 2006 to tell the story, to build collections, to archive and keep alive the memory of the exploits of the star athletes and champions who have marked the history of international cycling.

This history as inextricably linked to Ghisallo is already well known to enthusiasts. This is a hill replete with memories, offering views that please the eye, while now offering a home to the Madonna del Ghisallo Cycling Museum dedicated to all those men and women who use and have used bicycles in their daily lives or in sports competitions. It is a true home for cyclists, the outcome of a passion of the champion cyclist Fiorenzo Magni.

The venue was conceived as a space to narrate to all visitors to Magreglio the story of cycling through a series of formats that engage the visitor in ways that are interactive and participatory.

Among the memorabilia displayed at the Museum are the racing bicycles with which Gino Bartali won the Tour de France in 1938 and 1948, the one used by Fausto Coppi to set the world record at the Vigorelli in Milan in 1942, and the bike on which Toni Rominger set the hour record in 1994. It also houses the world's largest collection of Pink Jerseys, major Yellow Jerseys, Blue Jerseys and the jerseys of many world champions.
