Going up from Pinerolo, a long climb, but very pedalable, with just a couple of slightly steeper sections, but without ever reaching double figures.
Wide valley with good views, busy road... doing it without traffic before the Tour de France passed made sense, but on any given day... there is better, even if it allows you to reach an altitude of 2000 without get too hurt
