프라시노 최고의 사이클링 경로

the marmottes might cross the road, so take care when going downhill on your bike!

You can also go down there by mountain bike, with a good S3 level.

This Colle dell'Agnello is one of the most classic climbs in the Western Alps, and has often been the scene of stages of the Giro d'Italia. Very challenging both for its length and the difference in altitude, and for its altitude (it starts from 1,800 meters in Chianale and reaches almost 2,750 meters on the hill). The views, however, are stunning and worth the effort. The French side is less steep, so those who tackle it during trips lasting several days can plan the climb from France, which is less challenging, and enjoy the descent and the views.

The last village on the Italian side is a very well-preserved village with cobbled streets, beautiful and well-decorated houses, and a couple of places where you can eat or have a drink. It is worth stopping to refuel and take a photo at the village fountain before tackling the very tough 10 km stretch to the summit. It is also a good place to have a sandwich or something at lunchtime.

The climb and descent on the Italian side are very complicated. Going up, from the last village, Chianale, to the summit is 10 kilometers with an average gradient of 10% and some ramps of 16%. Very hard! Going down, as the road is very steep, there are many straights and steep slopes, the road is narrow... it becomes uncomfortable having to use the brakes hard and continuously.

This is a charming little village located halfway up the Colle dell'Agnello, at the foot of Lago di Castello, an artificial lake created by the construction of the Pontechianale dam.

An endless climb, it really puts you to the test but the views are incredible.

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