320 km.

         Departing from Pinerolo, we direct there toward the val of Susa, passing for the colletta of Cumiana a beautiful, tortuous road and flood of curves that immediately brings us in temperature! From here we go down and we reach Giaveno a beautiful town to the feet of the park of the Rocciavrè and finally Avigliana, where coasting along his two characteristic lakes we enter the valley of Susa.  

            We begin to go up again crossing it characteristic countries among which  detach Sant'Ambrogio, from which him can see in     distance the Feast of St. Michael and Villar Focchiardo with the rests of his castle!  

            We finally reach Susa, where for us it is to do mandatory it covers coffee before leaving the comfortable and fast one,     government (eye to the veloxes!) and to climb toward more binding roads.  

             We leave again climbing up to the hill of the Moncenisio, the road is amusing thanks to the asphalt just referred and his very     narrow curves not, allowing some beautiful folds! Arrived in top, unbelievable but true, let's succeed in admiring the lake, for once not     absorbed in the fog and in the storm of snow!   

            We continue in France but unfortunately the French asphalt especially in mountain is not very beautiful then we go down with a     certain calm up to reach the town of Lanslebourg, the fund valley is instead very more parish priest and we quickly proceed up to the     city of Modane, railway knot of great importance for the border commerce.  

            The road becomes a beautiful government that coasts along the highway, you can be traveled more quickly and in little time we     reach Saint Michel de Marianne, from where we begin to climb.  

            The road quickly climbs him with narrow curves and the guide it is had to do more careful, they are winds kilometers of slope but     accompanied by very beautiful landscapes, to break a few makes him a small standstill to the Pass the du Telegraph, a small hill that     we meet when we change slope.  

            From here we go down in the country of Valloire but he immediately goes up again for finally reaching the hill of the Galibier, that     thanks to the a lot of winter “long”  has just been open to the traffic, the last curves are in half to the walls of snow, really beautiful!  

            A small standstill for the customary photos and we take back the descent I pour the hill of the Loutares, attractive with the his     kiosks in wood and his garden of alpine flora.  

            We are by now on the street of the return, gives the season not yet very beautiful there is not a lot of traffic and it road is really     beautiful, we go down to Serre Chevalier and from here we reach Briançon.  

            By now the time it is slow and we quickly continue toward the border, the Monginevro immediately is reached and from here Italy,     goes down to Cesana and gone up again to the hill of the Sestriere us doesn't remain to cross the Val Chisone be at home! Surely     satisfied, in fact in few more than 300 kilometers we have done the beauty of  six necks!
