This is a small village in the Stura Valley that is charming and whose centre is very pleasant to visit by bike. It has several cafés, trattorias and shops where you can buy various supplies for the needs of cyclists.

There is a fountain further up the climb. The water is good.

On the lower part of the southern slope, as in the whole valley of the Tinnée, there is a lot of vegetation. Among the vegetation on the inner slope going up towards the Col de la Bonette, when crossing a small bridge, you can see this beautiful waterfall. I stopped once to get water and escape the intense heat that day. It saved my life!

For a spectacular ascent and a thrilling descent, I would always recommend the route from Italy to France, if you can choose and plan it yourself. A beautiful valley with stunning views on narrow roads in Italy is a great place to enjoy at a slow pace. Wide, well-maintained roads in France make for a relatively safe descent.
