イントロの峠・トップ13

The climb winds through a majestic valley (personally my favorite), never reaching excessive gradients; it's long but pedalable, allowing you to fully enjoy the natural surroundings. Apart from the peak season, there's almost no traffic, although you might encounter a few campers, which can be annoying on the way down. If you tackle the climb during periods of the year when there aren't too many tourists, you might, like me, have pleasant encounters with ibex and chamois that have come down to road level.

Passo Alto, or Haut Pass, connects La Thuile with the high valley of Promoud in the La Salle territory in the summer period. The well-marked path is also part of the Alta Via 2 itinerary. From here you can enjoy a splendid view of the valleys.

A very long panoramic ride.....

Long but very pedalable climb with the exception of some tartts. In the final part the valley opens up and offers a wide view of the surrounding landscape.

Col Fenêtre separates Valgrisenche from Val di Rhêmes Notre Dame. From here you can admire the Gran Paradiso.

The landscapes look like the Himalayan ones and yet we are in the Aosta Valley. To say that the view from here is breathtaking is an understatement!

Superb ongoing climb.
