Colle del Colombardo - Valle di Viu

The 22 km long ridge passage with fantastic scenery leads from Condove, which lies on the SS 24 between Turin and Susa, up to Lemie on the SP 32. A stone's throw from here, the scenically beautiful Valle di Viu opens up.

The entry point is to the north of Condove. It can be reached via a winding tarred road. First pass through the village of Mocchie in a very wooded area. The first section continues uphill, alternating between gravel and tarred sections at Rocca. Now you cross the less wooded mountain ridge, past green mountain meadows dotted with boulders. There are abandoned huts at the edge of the gravel road. The route continues winding along the partly washed-out track, with fantastic views of the imposing mountain world of the Piedmont Alps. At Colle del Colombardo is the large Madonna degli Angeli chapel with its summit cross. Here you can enjoy the panorama in the midst of nature. The route leads back down into the valley to San Antonio via many hairpin bends and past flocks of sheep. A narrow tarred road leads past stone houses through the forest to SP 32. Turning left towards Lemie, you reach the Valle di Viu.
