Colle Fauniera (Fauniera Pass)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Colle Fauniera connects the Stura di Demonte valley through the lateral Vallone dell'Arma with the Grana Valley, both in the province of Cuneo. And it is particularly loved by cyclists not only for the wonderful views it is able to offer, but also because it is part of the iconic climbs of the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France.

Getting up here is a unique emotion, absolutely not to be missed!

Colle della Margherita

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Colle Margherina is easily accessible in summer from the Gardetta and Bandia plateaus. It offers a panoramic view of the Stura valley and a magnificent view of Rocca la Meja.

If you pass by here, you can't resist the thought of stopping to admire the almost extraterrestrial landscape that surrounds you and take a deep breath.

Preit Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Preit hill is located at 2,083 meters above sea level and the road to reach it starts from Ponte di Marmora.
The climb is quite demanding, with peaks of over 18% in the last kilometres.
The view is beautiful and car traffic is practically absent in the entire second part after the town of Preit.
