벨리노‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산길

It can be reached on a good, not difficult path in about 1.40 hours, and offers an excellent view of Chiappera and the surrounding Dolomite peaks.

For everyone, easy tour

If you plan to cross the pass as part of an Alpine cross-country bike ride, it's essential to lift and carry your bike over large boulders and rocks. Simply pushing isn't enough. The exit is very steep. An alternative route would be via the Col Agnel road.

We also went up from Chiappera, but it's no problem for an experienced hiker. The path up to the pass is very doable, there are no exposed areas on the whole tour with great views. Highly recommended!!! 😄

Colle Greguri, at about 2350 m, offers a circular hike around Rocca Provenzale, symbol of the Maira Valley. With breathtaking views and flower-filled slopes, it offers a spectacular view of the vertical wall of Cima Provenzale.

Steep, narrow, lonely, magnificent mountain scenery and plenty of altitude! Do you need more?

It is one of the most spectacular passes in Piedmont. Without a doubt it is in my Top 5 of Piedmont (Fauniera, Agnello, Nivolet, Colle delle Finestre and Colle di Sampeyre). For many it is a great unknown since Fauniera and Agnello are around it, two passes with a lot of name. It has the characteristics of a colossus: it is long, hard, high (over 2,000m) and has privileged views. Colle Sampeyre connects the Maira valley with the Varaita valley, where the town of Sampeyre is located. It has 3 slopes: two through the Maira valley and one through the Varaita valley. Of the 3, the most special for me is the one through the Elba valley, which starts at Ponte Marmora. The road on the 2 sides of the Maira valley is not in good condition so I suggest going up one of these and going down the side of the Varaita valley, which is in good condition as it was resurfaced in 2023. Obviously, we are talking about narrow roads, with no road signs and no hard shoulder. There is very little traffic, so you only have to worry about the ramps, the views and enjoying nature. Regarding the ban on going up the Elba valley... no problem. You can go up by bike perfectly. At the start of the climb the locals put up a barrier to discourage tourists and prevent them from disturbing their peace and the mountains. Cyclists are very welcome. It has been part of the Giro d'Italia on 2 occasions. On the second occasion, in 2003, it will go down in history as the snowy stage, where Gilberto Simoni crowned and Pantani fell on the descent trying to catch him. As well as being a Top 5 in Piedmont, it is also a Top 15 in Italy. It is a mountain pass that I am very fond of. I always recommend it to cyclists who go through that area.

A destination mainly for cyclists and motorcyclists, but also for walkers. You can go up from the municipality of Sampeyre (Val Varaita) or from the municipality of Elva (Val Maira). It crosses the Strada dei Cannoni, a long dirt road of 42 km between the 2 valleys, which touches many municipalities, and starts from Colletta di Rossana and ends at Colle della Bicocca
