ヴィーコ・カナヴェーゼの峠・トップ15

Stunning view of the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa

Remarkable views and very nice MTB route, partly challenging

In reality, this place is not so "flat" because, from when the slopes become less steep to when the descent begins, there will not even be a hundred meters ... but the environment is superb, high mountain, and makes up for the road that, especially towards Frassinetto, is not in such good condition. There is nothing, not a bar, not a fountain ... but it is worth stopping and admiring the splendid panorama. Going up from Frassinetto the slope, after the village, becomes discontinuous and challenging, more gradual if you go up from Colleretto Castelnuovo, where the road alternates beautiful hairpin bends in the woods ... however, it is not a gift from this side either!

It's just a high point on the dirt road. Not a single geese in sight.

The Oca Pass is a pass on the Serra di Ivrea ridge, a glacial moraine that extends between the Canavese and Biella areas. The pass can be reached from various paths that cross woods, lakes and historical sites such as the Torre della Bastia and the Ciucarun.

A nice climb with perfect asphalt.

If desired, there is also the climb to the Torretta nearby.

The Fenêtre de Champorcher (French pron. AFI: [fənɛtʁ də ʃɑ̃pɔʁʃe]; also known simply as col Fenêtre, which means window hill in French) (2,827 m a.s.l.) is an Alpine pass in the Graian Alps which joins the Champorcher valley and the valley of Cogne. The hill opens between Bec Costazza and Torre Ponton. From the side of Champorcher la Finestra is located upstream of Lake Misérin and at the head of the valley; from the Cogne side it is found at the head of the Urtier valley (secondary valley of the Cogne valley). From the window the Gran Paradiso national park begins on the Cogne side and on the one towards Champorcher the Mont Avic natural park.[1] According to the SOIUSA orographic classification, the hill separates two of the supergroups that make up the Gran Paradiso Alps, the Emilius-Tersiva Chain (north of the hill) from the Rosa dei Banchi Group (south).[2] It is located along the route of the Alta via della Valle d'Aosta n. 2. The hill, as well as the path, is crossed by the high-voltage power line that transported the electricity produced by the French Superphenix nuclear reactor to Italy.[3]
