One of Italy's most ambitious energy engineering projects, yet never fully exploited: landslides similar to those of Vajont were detected right from the initial tests, and the capacity was limited from the planned 70 million cubic meters to just 2 million (which is why the village of Fornet, re-emerged from the lake's waters, is still visible). Due to the dam's failure to utilize its full capacity, it was lowered by 52 meters between 2011 and 2015.

A small village located at the start of the Valgrisenche climb; interesting fact: this is the birthplace of Maurice Garin, winner of the first Tour de France.

Very irregular and decidedly challenging climb, especially in the initial kilometres which have steep gradients and, for over a kilometre, greater than 10%.

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.

After crossing the bridge over the Dora Baltea, State Road 26 now winds along a straight stretch with almost zero gradients, the perfect place to look up and enjoy the view of the highest mountain in Europe.

A typical Aosta Valley village nestled in the mountains, a crossroads for Colle San Carlo, the Piccolo San Bernardo, and Pré-Saint-Didier. A little trivia: it was here that, at the end of the Second World War, a partisan brigade and a small republican brigade, putting aside all hatred, jointly opposed De Gaulle's attempt to annex the Aosta Valley to France.

Once you drive past Runaz you can have stunning views on the peak and the glaciers, showing 4000 vertical meters of the massif. Impressive how it stands out in the valley!!

At the station, you have done about 2/3 of the climb to the Petit Saint-Bernard pass from Bourg Saint-Maurice: courage!

La Thuile is one of the largest municipalities in the Aosta Valley; it is located in Valdigne, an area whose name derives from "Vallis Digna" which describes a valley worthy of being colonized for its magnificent exposure at the foot of Mont Blanc but above all worthy of the highest consideration because it was the main connection route with Narbonensis Gaul. At 1450 meters above sea level La Thuile is a mountain village with just over 800 inhabitants (less than seven per square kilometre) which become many more thanks to its strong tourist vocation: in winter it is an international ski resort with slopes reaching the Little Saint Bernard Pass and La Rosiére and in summer it is a place for nature walks, bike excursions and outdoor activities. You can admire the Rutor Glacier (the third largest in the Aosta Valley) with the Rutorine waterfalls with 3 rock falls, discover the mining past linked to the extraction of silver first and then anthracite, find old seventeenth-century entrenchments or admire glimpses of the Mont Blanc massif. In the midst of so much nature, the traditions of a mountain culture rich in values also stand out: food and wine, craftsmanship (The Maison Musée Berton - maisonberton.it - is the ideal place to discover it through a private collection in a private villa now transformed into a house museum) , local products such as Fontina - fontina-dop.it -.
