• Colle delle Finestre&Sestriere big loop

A narrow road and more than 30 hairpins to the natural amphiteater of the Colle delle Finestre, one of the hardest climbs in Italy with the last 8km on unpaved roads. Recently introduced to the Giro d`Italia in 2005 but alredy an iconic climb to challenge.

The climb of Sestriere (alt.2035) is probably the most famous in Piemonte, both Tour de France and Giro d’Italia visited this col many times. Coppi won when the Tour de France first visited Sestriere in 1952. Claudio Chiappucci had an amazing day in the 1992 Tour de France to win in Sestriere. Miguel Indurain won a Giro stage on and saved a Tour de France here. Lance Armstrong surprisingly won his first Tour mountain stage in 1999.

Watch the GCN video climbing the Finestre.

• Colle dell'Agnello (alt.2744)

We use to challenge the Agnello departing at least from Casteldelfino where the ascent is 23 km long, the average percentage is 6.5% and the maximum slope is 15%. Recently on the Colle dell`Agnello - the 2016 Cima Coppi at the Giro - the Dutch Steven Kruijswijk had a spectacular crash into the snow on the descent to France. The penultimate stage of the Giro 2020 will feature the Agnello again.

• Colle del Nivolet (alt.2612)

The most spectacular climb of Piemonte, the Colle del Nivolet, worth a little longer van approach to Locana and enjoy the beautiful Parco Gran Paradiso with waterfalls, high-mountain lakes and...marmots. Recently featured at the Giro for the very first time in 2019.

• Colle Fauniera (alt.2481)

Known as one of the toughest climbs in the Alps with 3 routes to the summit of Fauniera, all narrow, steep and wild. From Pradleves/Valle Grana, the route of Castelmagno cheese, is 22.4km long at an average of 7.5% but with very long sections at over 10%. The Giro visited the Fauniera in 1999 and Marco Pantani ended the day in maglia rosa.
