Climb to Vazon

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Nice climb on narrow and quiet road. Asphalt is in good condition. First part of the climb is in the shade. Very good views at the end. Don’t forget to enjoy some coffee at the Rifugio Alpino La Chardousë. (Cycling further is possible on a gravel road, wide tyres are needed though, as it is very rocky)

Our Lady of Light Chapel (Cotolivier)

Highlight • Religious Site

A chapel above Oulx reachable both by path and by road, dirt road from Vazon. You can admire a beautiful view of the Susa Valley. This is the Wikipedia description:
The chapel building was erected at the end of the 19th century to celebrate a miraculous event that happened in 1650 to two wayfarers from the Susa Valley who, having lost their way during a storm, invoked the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary and obtained it in the form of a sudden ray of light (hence the name Our Lady of Light) that guided them to the top of Mount Cotolivier, saving their lives.
