The stretch of road from Pavaglione towards Rio Prebec is an excellent balcony overlooking the middle/upper valley. The easy road allows you to cycle calmly while admiring the landscape, splendid on sunny days!

From Colle dell'Assietta, you climb 1.5 km of rougher dirt road to Gran Serin, and from there you descend towards the barracks. It's an incredible place, thinking about how these structures were built. The road down to Frais is particularly rough, and the gravel is very difficult to navigate, but the views over the valley are breathtaking (if it weren't for the highway viaducts that block the view at the bottom of the valley).

I'd been dreaming of being there for a long time, and I finally made it. It's a simply wonderful place. Words needn't be written. I climbed to the pass on its eastern slope, the one that starts from Pian dell'Alpe, and previously climbed Colle delle Finestre from Susa. Combining the two sections, I can assure you it's one of the toughest climbs I've ever done, but also one of the most beautiful. The section from Pian dell'Alpe to Colle della Assietta is divided into three parts: the first 4 kilometers of a steady climb at 6-7% gradient, the 2-kilometer intermediate rest stop, and the final 4 kilometers with steeper gradients and a worse track condition. I wholeheartedly invite you all to enjoy this wonderful place.

Alpine Farm near Oulx Tucked away on the high slopes near the Strada dell’Assietta, this remote mountain farm is special. If the doors are open, step inside. The family produces raw-milk cheeses using age-old methods, matured in a cool stone cellar. A slice of toma or fontina offers a quiet moment of warmth and simplicity, right in the heart of a demanding day. From here, it’s downhill into the Oulx valley. Mostly.

This hill can be reached from Colle delle Finestre via the old military road. The last stretch is on a trail to bypass the road closure due to construction (July 2025).
