After the deadly hairpin bends of Noasca, don't take the long tunnel. To the left before the tunnel there is the old and beautiful road that goes all the way to Ceresole Reale.

Those who intend to climb up to this town by bike must take into account about 300 m. of altitude difference with almost always double-digit gradients, on a road that, if it rains, becomes very delicate to travel downhill. Having clarified this, the town is delightful and deserves a visit, both for the care with which many of the old huts have been restored, and for the many "embellishments" that peep out along the alleys, in the entrance halls or from the windows. It is recommended to follow the itinerary as per the track, then proceeding, bike at your side, through the narrow streets, stopping to read the many stories of ordinary people who have lived here. Unfortunately, the only bar in the town at this time (end of March) was closed... the only negative point!

September 11, 2024, Teleccio Dam and Lake

Ridiculous climb, road and valley, first 4 km with some hard but balanced stretches of flat ground, the last 7 km are tough. Very degraded asphalt, with eight sectors where the road has been restored after landslides, then asphalt disappeared. There are 8 drainage grates to watch out for, they cross the road and are made of iron rods that fit a 25 tire comfortably. With a road bike, to be avoided on days of uncertain weather, the road sees the constant presence of stones and armrests, with water I think it's a mess.
