A stretch of road connecting the Rossana pass to the town of Busca, an alternative route to the provincial road and the road along the Maira. It offers stunning views of the plain and the Alps in the distance—as well as a lovely glimpse of a nearly hidden valley behind Busca, the existence of which I was unaware.

Beautiful old church, in a very panoramic position on the Cuneo plain. The climbs to get there have ramps at the limit of legality, but it is worth it.

Beautiful town, with a historic center enclosed in three streets (which manage to be a maze of no entry signs).

From the bridge over the Varaita torrent, just outside the heart of Costigliole Saluzzo, a suggestive panorama opens up that embraces the village perched on the hill and the waters of the torrent that flow at its feet. From this privileged position, you can admire the houses with their red tile roofs, the streets that climb towards the historic center and, on clear days, the majestic backdrop of the Alps. The sound of the flowing water and the view of the surrounding nature make this place perfect for a panoramic stop, immersing yourself in the tranquility of the Piedmont countryside.

Busca is a town at the foot of the morainic hills between the Maira and Varaita valleys. Precisely because of its position, it boasts a mild climate that has been appreciated since ancient times. The name appears for the first time in a document dating back to 1123. The town develops around the ancient historic center surrounded by walls, partly still visible.

Piasco, located on the left of the Varaita stream, has ancient origins. It was a Roman customs station and then passed from the Lords of Venasca to the Marquises of Saluzzo up to the Savoy. Among the medieval testimonies still visible today, the civic tower, once a bell tower, and the Church of San Giovanni stand out. The Porporati castle, dating back to 1655, dominates the historic center.

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.

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.

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

The historic center of Piasco boasts many monuments to see, such as the parish church of San Giovanni Battista and the Civic Tower, an ancient bell tower that is now part of the town hall structure. The center is characterized by a large pedestrian area. From Piasco begins the long climb that leads to the Agnello hill.
