How to get there	This is a little known climb from Ponte Marmora (944m) in Valle Máira, Piemonte. One goes up to Canosio and from here it is mostly very steep (with some almost flat sections) to the pass. Especially the last stretch to just before the pass is very steep. The road was reportedly surfaced in the higher regions 2003. There are some drainage gullies and occasional cow dung. It is a lonely road but there are a few tourists going up to Rifugio Gardetta and locals going between their cattle and farms.
Other comments	This pass could be combined with Colle Cologna; Colle Margherina; Colle della Bandia on the gravel road that continues to Colle di Valcavera (2416m) if the weather would permit it. This gravel might be a bit too difficult in parts for someone with a racer. I had planned to try it out in 2006, but the weather was not good enough. Very nice at the top of this pass! [IT-CN-2083]
