Celle hamlet

The Lys pass is a pass that is part of the Graian Alps. Located at 1,311 meters above sea level, the Lys hill connects the Susa valley with the Viù valley. The view from the summit is spectacular. Furthermore, at the pass you can find a bar and a refuge where you can refresh yourself. The Lys hill was the scene of a bloody battle in July 1944: 26 partisans were massacred by Nazi troops. The tower at the pass recalls the sacrifice of the young partisans.

The climb (done by Almese) is just right, sections never excessively hard, with some areas where it flattens out and you can catch your breath, therefore absolutely manageable. Barbosa for the first 4-5 km due to the slope and the crossing of residential areas, then you enter the woods. The landscape opens up unexpectedly only in the final km. On a weekday, very little vehicular traffic and a handful of cyclists 👌🏻 Be careful on the descent towards Viù, several stretches of very ruined asphalt, with dangerous ruts in the shade of the forest

DaAlmese is much harder, at the top panorama 🔝

When you get to the top of Colle del Lys you can take a break.
