This mountain offers you beautiful views.

Here is the route for the ascent of the Col de Montgenèvre starting from La Vachette

The road itself is very beautiful, but the constant traffic, even heavy, unfortunately makes it not very enjoyable except in the early morning or in the evening.

Although the flag parade seen in some of the photos (which various users have uploaded to the highlight) could theoretically fit into a memorial for the victims of the two world wars – who came from many different nationalities – they do not belong in any context with the “Monumento ai caduti”.

Along the stretch of Via Roma that descends from the town onto the SP24 (going down), on one side we find a beautiful covered fountain with drinkable water; on the opposite side, an ancient house (currently [August 2025] undergoing restoration) with a wonderful carved stone portal and a beautiful wooden door.

This tower is part of the city's old medieval fortifications. It can be reached either by a fairly good (but fairly straight) dirt road from the east side, or by the paved Via Tur d'Amun and a short dirt section. Behind the tower, archaeological excavations have uncovered the ancient structures of the defensive complex (the excavation site is currently closed for construction [August 2025]). The view of Bardonecchia and the surrounding mountains is stunning.

Beautiful village in the Clarée valley.

The climb is smooth and the view is fantastic.
