Connection between the lower Susa Valley and the Viú Valley. All asphalt

now only a little snow. Lots of people with the first warm weather

From Mezzenile, 2024 brought new asphalt and it's a good ride compared to before. Beautiful but the second half is quite challenging, especially the last 3 km. Top views at the top from both sides. It deserves it.

Hill that joins Viú to Mezzenile, all asphalt

The Lys pass is a pass that is part of the Graian Alps. Located at 1,311 meters above sea level, the Lys hill connects the Susa valley with the Viù valley. The view from the summit is spectacular. Furthermore, at the pass you can find a bar and a refuge where you can refresh yourself. The Lys hill was the scene of a bloody battle in July 1944: 26 partisans were massacred by Nazi troops. The tower at the pass recalls the sacrifice of the young partisans.

The climb (done by Almese) is just right, sections never excessively hard, with some areas where it flattens out and you can catch your breath, therefore absolutely manageable. Barbosa for the first 4-5 km due to the slope and the crossing of residential areas, then you enter the woods. The landscape opens up unexpectedly only in the final km. On a weekday, very little vehicular traffic and a handful of cyclists 👌🏻 Be careful on the descent towards Viù, several stretches of very ruined asphalt, with dangerous ruts in the shade of the forest

Road with little traffic even on a Sunday in July, demanding especially in the final stretch going up from Viù. The final kilometer is closed to motor traffic every Thursday in July-August (so says a sign). Disastrous asphalt in the upper part of the descent towards Mezzenile, craters, depressions, various debris, you can never get the bike to run. I think it's better to go up on that side and go down to Viù

The last 3 km are monstrous.
