Col de Montgenèvre cyclist's tunnel

Highlight • Cycleway

A quiet bike path (stay left!) which avoids the main road going into the larger tunnel just to the right/north. The old road tunnel here is a strangely quiet section of calm on this climb and a respite in bad weather.

Montgenèvre

Highlight • Other

Montgenèvre is a small town nestled between the Clarée and Suse valleys. It is famous for its eponymous pass, highly appreciated by cyclists.

In the ski resort, Montgenèvre offers a wide range of restaurants and accommodation.

Ideally located on the GR 5, it also makes an excellent stopover for travelers en route from/to Briançon.

Col du Granon summit

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Get ready for the Col du Granon. This over 11 kilometer long climb is a tough Alp with an average gradient of 9.3% and the steepest 100 meters at 18%. Tour worthy, so the 11th stage of the Tour will finish on top of the Granon for the second time in 2022.

Access to Montgenèvre and Napoleon Obelisk

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Obelisk dedicated to Napoleon Napoleon was inaugurated on April 12, 1804.
It is located at the entrance to the village of Monginevro (Italy side) and its history is linked to the construction of the road to the pass.

The obelisk was destroyed with explosives in 1835 by the Piedmontese and rebuilt by the architect Giuseppe Andreoli under King Louis Philippe.
The original marble commemorative plaques, also destroyed, have been replaced by bronze plaques, engraved in four languages: French, Italian, Spanish and Latin, where you can read the homage paid to Napoleon Bonaparte and the prefect Ladoucette.

Church of San Giovanni Battista and Fountain of Cesana Torinese

Highlight • Religious Site

It is located at the top of the Chiesa hamlet, just inside the town. The roads leading to it are mostly pedestrianized, but accessible by bicycle. The church has a rather intricate façade, with a beautiful portal; the rectory, which overlooks the churchyard at a 90° angle to the church, is also very beautiful. Next to the church is a fountain nestled among the trees. The stone bell tower is also noteworthy. In front, a stunning view of the Susa Valley awaits. To reach the churchyard, you have to do a bit of portage, but it's worth it.
