challenging but rewarding climb. Departure from Susa (500 m above sea level), initial steady climb up to Novalesa (820 m), then deviation to the left towards the town of Moncenisio (1,450 m) along the SP 212: asphalt road, little traffic, in fair condition but with ruined sections. Average gradient of 10% (a long stretch with an average of 11% and frequent climbs over 14-15%). Tight bends and very beautiful shaded passages. After the town of Moncenisio, continue on SP 212 up to Lake Ferrera. Continuing, the road rejoins the state road for the Pass.

Lago Grande

Highlight • Lake

The Ferrera lake is a small natural lake located in the municipality of Moncenisio, one of the smallest municipalities in Italy. Rather known by fishermen for its crystal clear waters rich in trout, it is surrounded by the imposing mountains of Lamet, to the north, and Giusalet, to the south.
The road that connects it to Novalesa is called the royal road and, before the construction of the Napoleonic road (the current Moncenisio state road), it was the only connection between France and Novalesa. The town of Ferrera (now called Moncenisio) is currently inhabited by a few residents, who have renovated numerous houses while maintaining the style of the ancient "huts" and organized the interesting ecomuseum "le terre al confine" which collects evidence of the life of the mountaineers. The town is also crossed by the "via francigena", a hiking trail that is part of a larger network of trails that were formerly used by French pilgrims on their way to Rome.

Lanslebourg

Highlight • Other

This cute little place really offers a little bit of everything. Despite its focus on tourism and mountain sports, Lanslebourg has retained the typical charm of a French mountain village. Although the village is relatively small with just over 600 inhabitants, there is everything your heart desires, from hotels to good restaurants and sensational views.

August 10, 2023,#26 🇨🇵🇮🇹 Col du Mont-Cenis und Petit Cenis, auf der Suche nach Schatten bei Susa

Today "just" a smaller tour. That's because the Colle delle Finestre is on my to-do list tomorrow and my husband has to take a different route with the motorhome. So the overnight stay in/near Susa was planned. The start to Lanslebourg was a bit annoying due to the traffic. After a while there was an extra cycle lane up to …
