With her usual monotony we reach Saluzzo from which we take for Verzuolo and we begin to to climb for val Varaita, the  traffic it is not exaggerated and accomplice a I found not very ugly we risk some accelerate!  

            The double caught we find to Ponte Chianale: aloft the time is very ugly (but to make the lamb with the sun is almost an utopia) and very more annoying we meet a beautiful run of bicycles.  

            We pick her up with philosophy and we begin the slope among bicycles, cars and public, near the top the road is more alert and the low clouds prevent the view and here that the bicyclists climb to groups the, passing becomes almost impossible and we almost reduces still the walk tabulating us.  

        Arrived on the hill we find everything clogged, the stop is impossible, we immediately begin then the descent  toward Saint Veran,     With a lot of prudence and patience we keep on going down up to the country of Chateau Queyras where we know to lose the bicyclists that are direct toward the Vars.
