A route of medium difficulty involving the use of the SPORTINIA chairlift (days and opening hours HERE). The route initially runs on flat or slightly downhill terrain until the junction for Enfers, where you start pedalling uphill through the dense forest of the Gran Bosco di Salbertand Nature Park. The uphill part is not very demanding except for short stretches and, in no time at all, you find yourself tackling the forest road downhill to the fork that leads to Montagne Seu. Here the road, which is fairly straight and flat, allows us to pedal in complete relaxation until we reach the hamlet. On the way back, to close the loop tour, we recommend returning to Sauze d’Oulx via Monfol.
A route of medium difficulty that involves the use of the SPORTINIA & ROCCE NERE chairlifts (days and opening hours HERE). From the top station of Rocce Nere, start cycling on the dirt road towards Col Basset. After a short descent and a gentle climb, turn left onto the Strada dell’Assietta.
The route, mostly flat or slightly downhill, leads to Colle del Costa Piana, where the climb to the Faro degli Alpini begins. You’ll pass near the summit of Monte Genevris, then descend towards Col Blegier. From here, turn left and follow the forest road through the Gran Bosco di Salbertrand Natural Park, passing Serre Blanc and Monfol, until you return to Sauze d’Oulx.
Difficult route involving the use of the SPORTINIA & ROCCE NERE chairlifts (days and opening hours HERE). After getting off the Rocce Nere chairlift, start pedaling along the dirt road in front of you towards Col Basset. After a short downhill stretch, a gentle climb leads to Col Basset, where you turn left onto the Strada dell’Assietta. Follow this road, which is mostly flat or gently downhill, until you reach Colle del Costa Piana, where the ascent to the Faro degli Alpini begins. The route passes near the summit of Monte Genevris and the lighthouse (Faro), then descends toward Col Blegier. Once at the col, the road continues to the right and overlooks the Chisone Valley for a stretch. After passing Colle Lauson, the road continues across a hilly plateau. Pass Rifugio Casa Assietta and the small scenic lake on your right, and continue until you reach the obelisk.
From here, return briefly toward the rifugio and continue for a few hundred meters until you reach the turnoff on the right onto the Strada dei Cannoni, where the descent begins!
