Strada del Colomion

Restriction: From Bardonecchia-SS335, via Fort Bramafan, the road is closed all day every Wednesday! 

The Strada del Colomion is made up of sections of former military roads and forest paths. The summit plateau of the Colomion offers an impressive panoramic view. 
From the SS 335, approx. 1.5 km south of Bardonecchia, follow the signs to Forte Bramafan. The route climbs through the forest, with gradients of up to 15%. Before the fortifications, turn right onto the Strada del Colomion. Follow this road up to the plateau (2035m) of Punta Colomion. A stop at the Punta Colomion bar is definitely worthwhile. The ski hut, which is also always open in summer, serves absolutely delicious food. 
Shortly after the plateau, turn right towards Puy and Beaulard. On the way downhill, you pass a few hairpin bends and switchbacks before you reach asphalt again after the hamlet of Puy. 

The alternative access from Bardonecchia- Campo Smith is only possible until 9 am in July and August and then again from 6 pm.
