You only have to say ‘Sestriere’ and ‘Colle delle Finestre’ to make your mind fly to some historic pages of epic cycling!
On Sunday 26 June 2022, in fact, the Granfondo Sestriere-Colle delle Finestre will be staged, offering enthusiasts two routes and the same emotions that touch the most beautiful alpine resorts of Susa Valley and Chisone Valley and the main peaks of the Vialattea ski area, on the Olympic mountains of Torino 2006. Both include the ascent to the legendary pass that has consecrated champions such as Salvodelli, Aru and Froome:
- Granfondo, 121,5km and 3.400m D+
- Mediofondo, 96,8km and 2.600m D+
The start is from Sestriere Borgata to Sestriere and then down to Cesana; continue in the direction of Oulx, then Salbertrand, Exilles, Chiomonte, Gravere and Susa: from here begins the climb to the pass through Meana di Susa. From the summit, the route descends to Balboutet and then Pourrieres, Pragelato and Sestriere (arrival of the Mediofondo), while the Granfondo continues to Sauze di Cesana and back to Sestriere via Cesana.
