The never-ending climb to Colle del Nivolet (2612 m) begins in Locana, in the Orco Valley and takes place within the Gran Paradiso National Park. It is about 40 km long, overcoming almost 2000 meters of altitude difference. The most challenging sections are after Noasca and especially in the magnificent finale between the Serrù and Agnel lakes.

The view just before the hill is magnificent. In early autumn, with the first snow and no one around, it's unique.
