the race
The Gran Fondo 7 Lagos by Vista is a Road and Mountain Bike cycling competition that connects San Martín de los Andes and Villa La Angostura. The route is set in an impressive scenario, among native forests, mountains, and lakes of the RN40 (Route of the 7 Lakes), covering the 110 KM that separate the two cities in the province of Neuquén, Argentine Patagonia. Each year the direction of the competition is changed, alternating the host city and the arrival to fully enjoy each of them.
The race aims to generate an environment for all people who are passionate about sport, adventure, outdoor life, and nature to participate. On the Route of the 7 Lakes, the following lakes coexist in delicate harmony: Lácar, Machónico, Falkner, Villarino, Espejo, Correntoso, and Nahuel Huapi, contained by the Lanín and Nahuel Huapi national parks, which also safeguard streams, waterfalls, valleys, and mountains.
compromiso gf7l by Vista
The organization seeks to protect the impressive environment that makes our race the most beautiful in the country. For this reason, we have developed measures to become a more sustainable race edition after edition. These are: our alliance with Amigos de la Patagonia, the measurement of the carbon footprint, and our new hydration stations without plastic bottles.
Our intention is to protect Patagonia and thus be able to continue holding our great race.
