How to get there A very, very hard pass from Susa. For details on the Assietta ridge road and the way up there via this pass, see Colle di Lauson.
Other comments You would do well to turn of the south side of this road 2.5 km after the pass to take the splendid (for scenery) Assietta ridge road (a gravel road mostly cyclable with a road bike). This pass is part of this year’s Giro d’Italia (2005). It was paved on the south side for a safe descent for the Giro riders (2005).
