마셀로 최고의 사이클링 경로

right here there is an excellent fountain of very fresh water

starting point for various Alpine tours

The refuge is also open during winter weekends and can be reached via a well-trodden and easy-to-follow path.

The path on the right bank of the Chisone is also interesting

An authentic and unmissable refuge where we stopped during our mountain bike crossing of the Assietta with my friend. Two incredible days filled with the beauty of the surroundings and exceptional autumn light. One night at 2500m altitude at the Casa Assietta refuge, where we were welcomed like royalty by Roberto! A good night's sleep under the covers after the host had prepared an excellent dinner for us! Thank you, Roberto!

Despite its status as a tourist destination par excellence, it is beautiful and interesting. For us cyclists, the monument to Fausto Coppi, near the fountain marking the town center, is particularly interesting; the surrounding panorama, both architectural and mountainous, is truly beautiful. Worthy of note is the plaque that an Army captain dedicated to his horse Homer, originally buried on the Sestriere hill.

To eat at the refuge, it's best to book to be sure of a first course of polenta ;-)

I'd been dreaming of being there for a long time, and I finally made it. It's a simply wonderful place. Words needn't be written. I climbed to the pass on its eastern slope, the one that starts from Pian dell'Alpe, and previously climbed Colle delle Finestre from Susa. Combining the two sections, I can assure you it's one of the toughest climbs I've ever done, but also one of the most beautiful. The section from Pian dell'Alpe to Colle della Assietta is divided into three parts: the first 4 kilometers of a steady climb at 6-7% gradient, the 2-kilometer intermediate rest stop, and the final 4 kilometers with steeper gradients and a worse track condition. I wholeheartedly invite you all to enjoy this wonderful place.
