サンタンブロージョディトリノの峠・トップ16

Connection between the lower Susa Valley and the Viú Valley. All asphalt

Very welcoming place for hikers and bikers. Lots of tables and benches scattered everywhere

La Colletta is a classic for those who want to train, going up from Giaveno the route is almost entirely in the shade.

Pass that connects Val Sangone to Val di Susa, a climb that can be cycled from both the Giaveno and Avigliana sides

Because at the end of a long climb there are tables, benches and a restaurant for refreshment

The Cumiana pass, located at an altitude of 621 metres, connects the Chisola valley to the Sangone valley. The Colletta provincial road connects the towns of Giaveno and Cumiana. During the Second World War near the Cumiana collection there were various battles between partisans and Nazis. Near the pass there is the Colletta chapel.

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
