クラヴィエーレのおすすめライド

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”.

It's the first thing you notice, even from afar, when you arrive at Monginevro

Church dedicated to the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is located in the center of Claviere, slightly off the provincial road. In front is a pedestrian plaza with several benches; to the side is a park with a beautiful fountain (drinking water). All around are bars and restaurants. In the background, the stunning mountains of the Susa Valley. The portal is remarkable, with a beautiful fresco depicting the Nativity.

Entrance to the village of Monginevro from the Italian side. Note the Napoleonic obelisk and a statue of three soldiers supporting a ski-jumping officer (surreal).

Freed by the construction of the new tunnel (which is closed to bicycles), the old tunnel is now the undisputed realm of pedestrians and bicycles. The atmosphere inside is lovely, and the views of the valley are stunning when you exit.
