Colle Fauniera (Fauniera Pass)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Colle Fauniera connects the Stura di Demonte valley through the lateral Vallone dell'Arma with the Grana Valley, both in the province of Cuneo. And it is particularly loved by cyclists not only for the wonderful views it is able to offer, but also because it is part of the iconic climbs of the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France.

Getting up here is a unique emotion, absolutely not to be missed!

Colle della Margherita

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Colle Margherina is easily accessible in summer from the Gardetta and Bandia plateaus. It offers a panoramic view of the Stura valley and a magnificent view of Rocca la Meja.

If you pass by here, you can't resist the thought of stopping to admire the almost extraterrestrial landscape that surrounds you and take a deep breath.

The Gardetta Pass connects the Unerzio Valley with the Gardetta Plateau. From this hill there are various paths that reach the surrounding peaks. The Gardetta Refuge is about 15 minutes from the hill, to get there just let yourself be led by the majestic profile of the Meja.
