Tips
Between Balmarossa di Sotto and Prese, the SP460 runs in the Ceresole tunnel, which is illuminated but climbs steadily for 3.5 km. Sometimes the traffic is very annoying.
The old road is closed to traffic, the asphalt isn't the best anymore, so I'd recommend the old road for the driveway.
Beautiful views of the Orco valley.
The old road was renewed for the Giro 2019.

After the hairpins of noasca - at the entrance to 3.5km tunnel - take tho old road on the left - much much nicer! (And the way the 2019 Giro stage went)

a wonderful and car-free section, just be careful that a rock doesn't fall on your head;-) (see photo)
