From Sestiere to Fenestrelle on the SP 23, the 32 km long route leads over a mountain ridge with many hairpin bends, glistening mountain lakes and impressive views. (Special feature: the route is closed to motorized traffic on Wednesdays and Saturdays)

The start of the tour is at SP 23 in the village of Sestiere. First, the dusty track winds its way uphill through a few hairpin bends to Colle Basset. A fantastic panoramic view over the Chisone and Susa valleys awaits. A wooden gate marks the beautiful “Strada dell'Assietta” ridge road. In the next section, the slope descends gently, is easy to ride on but bumpy in places. The route continues to be rich in hairpin bends with beautiful views of valleys and small mountain lakes, with individual trees greening the mountain slopes. Via Colle Blegier and Colle Lauson, you reach a turn-off to Lago dell'Assietta, where you can take a break at the beautiful picnic area with benches. From Colle dell'Assietta, the wide track continues down along striking rock faces until the track ends at a tarred road that leads back to SP 23. After the tour, it is worth taking a trip to the village of Fenestrelle to visit the truly impressive fort of the same name.
