Supergrevet Milan-Munich is a 750-kilometer gravel ultra-cycling event connecting Milan, Italy, to Munich, Germany, part of the broader Supergrevet series of European city-to-city gravel routes that also includes Basel-Kleve and Vienna-Trieste editions. The route crosses the Alps, almost certainly traversing one or more significant Alpine passes as it connects Italy's economic and fashion capital to Bavaria's capital, taking riders through a transition from the flat Po Valley near Milan, through dramatic high-altitude alpine terrain, and into the rolling Bavarian countryside approaching Munich. This north-south Alpine crossing places the event among the more physically demanding entries in the Supergrevet series given the significant elevation gain implied by crossing the central Alps.
The gravel surface designation suggests the route prioritizes unpaved mountain tracks and forest roads over major Alpine highways wherever possible, offering a more remote and technically engaging crossing than a purely paved route between the same two cities would provide. The August timing aligns with the peak Alpine cycling season, when high mountain passes are most reliably free of snow and accessible to gravel and touring bikes.

Based on this event's terrain, difficulty and riding style.
At 750 km with 12000 m of elevation gain, Supergrevet Milan-Munich is roughly the distance of 18 marathons back to back, with climbing that adds up to more than 1.4 times the height of Mount Everest.
Supergrevet Milan-Munich's terrain calls for a Gravel Bike, ideally running 45-50mm Tubeless tires. On the drivetrain side, a 38-40T (1x) chainring matched to a 10-51T cassette gives enough range for the climbing involved.
We rate Supergrevet Milan-Munich as Advanced overall. Riders should be ready for rough, technical terrain for a good stretch of the route, steadily rolling, with a healthy amount of climbing elevation gain, and mild and generally comfortable conditions.
