    Ignoble and shameful that wonders like this are devastated by sub-humans on motorcycles and off-roaders !!!

      I deliberately delayed the start of my trip to ensure good weather for this military route, and I did well! It is one of the most beautiful roads I have been able to take on my bike today.

        Finally the wonder! Ascent to Colle dell'Assietta. Departure from Pian dell'Alpe, where the most famous of the military roads in the area begins, the Strada dell'Assietta which reaches Sestriere following the watershed ridge between Val Susa and Val Chisone and crossing the plateau of the same name. The first stretch from Pian dell'Alpe to Colle dell'Assietta runs on the south side with glimpses of Monte Albergian and distant Sestriere. After about 12km. the road becomes more demanding and narrower in some stretches: to the north you can see the Gran Serin battery, which rises imposingly on the underlying Colle dell'Assietta. After the latter and the Testa dell'Assietta, the itinerary continues towards the Genevris, touching the Battery of Gran Mouttas on the right and the Battery Gran Costa on the left; the Lauson, Blegier and Bourget hills follow, always at altitudes above 2000m. Having reached Colle Basset, the descent to Sestriere begins. Given the late hour and the looming fog, after a short stop at the Casa Assietta Refuge, I opted for the return, retracing the wonderful stretch of road I had gone up, thus giving me magical visions created by the fog. The most beautiful ride ever on the road, landscapes and fitness at 🔝. To be repeated absolutely!
