How to get there	See the description for Colle dei Morti (Colle Fauniera). This is the only pass you will visit on the Demonte-Pradlèves road if you decide to go from Demonte and continue toward Passo Gardetta.
Other comments	This is where a rough road goes toward Passo Gardetta. It is possible to cycle some distance from the pass on the gravel road with a racer, but perhaps not all the way to Colle del Preit (2083m) (where the asphalt road starts down to Preit). It is possible to cycle some way before reaching Colle del Preit also with a racer, but due to bad weather I have not explored the stretch inbetween, which crosses Colle della Bandia; Colle Margherina; and Colle Cologna (though not Passo Gardetta). This road looked very attractive with red sand at the beginning and going out in the wild mountainous valley ahead (but it was raining a lot upon my visit). Additional information on this gravel road connection could be found here: La Gardetta 1 & La Gardetta 2 (photos) and map & Cuneo map site. [IT-CN-2429]
