It's a natural single track, one of the old-school kind... and for that reason, of inestimable value. Beautiful, in a wild wooded environment, to be ridden uphill only if you have an e-MTB or are very fit! The gradients are steep, some sections are technical, one of the most beautiful single tracks in the upper RIPA valley.

This hill is best appreciated when climbing from Monfol because it offers an excellent panoramic viewpoint over the Chisone valley. You arrive at the end of a long traverse, very restful especially if cycled due to the moderate gradients. The downside is the significant traffic of off-road vehicles, almost all foreign, that use the beautiful high-altitude road known as the Strada dell'Assietta. Make sure to refuel along the way BEFORE the pass, taking advantage of the many streams, because from the pass onwards, whether heading towards Sestriere or towards the Assietta, you'll find almost no water... and there's a lot of dust! Another recommendation: avoid this route if a thunderstorm threatens, as there are no shelters and you risk serious lightning strikes!

The path has collapsed at one point, leaving you balancing on a narrow strip. The safety rope attached there is neither trustworthy nor practical for bikers. But this section isn't as tricky as the slipped section on the steep slope.

An authentic and unmissable refuge where we stopped during our mountain bike crossing of the Assietta with my friend. Two incredible days filled with the beauty of the surroundings and exceptional autumn light. One night at 2500m altitude at the Casa Assietta refuge, where we were welcomed like royalty by Roberto! A good night's sleep under the covers after the host had prepared an excellent dinner for us! Thank you, Roberto!
