노아스카‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪16‬개의 산길

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.

Convenient stop to catch your breath before tackling the final climb towards Taou Blanc.

Breathtaking panoramas, first through the Nivolet lakes, and later through the view from Leynir. Push your bike a few meters through a rock; there was some snow there in July. When the path forks uphill, be sure to take the left path. The right path requires climbing, while the left path is well-maintained.

Once you have reached the top of the Colle del Nivolet, if you descend towards the other side to the refuge (the one coming from the Aosta Valley and which is not paved), you will find this lake. The views are very beautiful, but they are minimised and undervalued by the panoramic views on the uphill side.

just saw it in the night with a good moon. best experience ever

At an altitude of 2625 metres, Colle del Nivolet marks the border between Piedmont and Valle d'Aosta. Going up from Ceresole Reale the road is entirely asphalted and therefore quite busy. Spectacular views 🤩🏔️

In Noasca the hardest part of the climb to Nivolet begins. Whether through the galleries or across the old road, the uphill section from Noasca to Ceserole Reale is the hardest area by far, with many ramps above 10%. For example, as soon as you leave Noasca, and going up a beautiful waterfall, there is a ramp that reaches 15% over 4 horseshoes. Show!
