Colle delle Finestre is a legendary mountain pass in the Italian Alps, known for its challenging climb and gravel sections. Rising to 2,178 meters, it features 45 hairpin turns and offers stunning views, making it a favorite among cyclists and a key climb in various Giro d'Italia's.

Colle delle Finestre extends for 18 kilometers from the Meana side, with a total difference in altitude of approximately 1,700 meters and an average gradient of 9%. With its 33 hairpin bends it connects the Susa and Chisone valleys crossing the Cottian Alps and the Orsiera Rocciavrè Park. What makes this climb unique and epic are the last eight kilometers, on a dirt road perfectly passable by racing bikes, gravel or mountain bikes; it is a challenging climb, which requires a good level of skill to reach the highest point at 2,186 meters above sea level. Over the years it has become famous thanks to some passages of the Giro d'Italia.

Fantastic! it is better to leave from Susa, or directly from Meana.
The first piece from Susa is literally a wall, up to about 1 km after the Meana station (it is the hardest part of the journey).
After the town of Meana I begin the curves that will take us to the last fountain on the hill: this piece is all asphalted, always sloping, but constant.
From the last fountain the road becomes unpaved, but without particular holes, unevenness, etc. .. it is a good dirt road: here the slopes reach 10% but it is done without particular problems.

Finally you arrive at the hill of windows, where it is possible to continue in the Chisone valley on a completely asphalted road
