I always find myself doing this climb on my return from tours in the Lanzo Valleys. Perhaps that is why I do not particularly love it. It is not difficult but long in relation to the altitude difference. And it is discontinuous, alternating between flats and climbs, making a very long loop in the final part.... read more

Beautiful climb, gradients never prohibitive, done on a Sunday in October very few cars The descent to Almese should be done with great caution due to the constant uphill traffic, absolutely avoid public holidays. Asphalt not in great condition

Bella salita ,pendenze mai proibitive, fatta di domenica ad ottobre pochissime auto La discesa verso Almese va fatta con molta cautela per il traffico costante in salita da evitare assolutamente i giorni festivi. Asfalto non in grandi condizioni

Of the two ascents to the LYS, this is the one I like best. It's an easy climb, rideable and with gentle gradients.
Apart from the first little piece, after the very first kilometres the road becomes quiet and pleasant, all through the forest.
There is a bit of traffic, especially on weekends.

Fra le due salite al LYS, questa è quella che mi piace di più. Una salita facile, sgambabile e con pendenze tranquille.
A parte il primo pezzetto, dopo i primissimi km la strada si fa tranquilla e piacevole, tutta in mezzo al bosco.
C'è un po' di traffico soprattutto il fine settimana.

Not a particularly difficult climb apart from the first stretch up to Colle San Giovanni then continuous ups and downs to the pass, ideal for finishing laps coming from the Lanzo valleys

Salita non particolarmente difficile a parte il primo tratto fino a colle san Giovanni poi continui sali scendi fino al colle, ideale per finire i giri arrivando dalle valli di Lanzo

Mi trovo sempre a fare questa salita di ritorno da giri nelle Valli di Lanzo. Forse è per questo che non l'amo particolarmente. Non difficile ma lunga in rapporto al dislivello. E discontinua, alterna piani e salite, facendo un lunghissimo giro nella parte finale. Il paesaggio non è male e la discesa dal versante di Rubiana è molto bella e veloce.

Done to complete the tour at Lake Malciaussia. Not a particularly demanding ascent in a beautiful setting.
Beautiful views but nothing exceptional
Very popular with motorbikes at weekends
I left my car outside the village of Lanzo (plenty of parking facilities)
There are water fountains in the villages along the road.
The restaurant is always open on arrival.

Fatto a completamento del giro al lago di Malciaussia. Salita non particolarmente impegnativa a bell'abiente.
Viste come belle viste ma niente di eccezionale
Molto popolare con le moto nei fine settimana
Ho lasciato l'auto fuori dal paese di Lanzo (molte possibilità di parcheggio)
Ci sono fontane d'acqua nei villaggi lungo la strada.
Il ristorante è sempre aperto all'arrivo.

The Colle del Lys is a beautiful climb! The climb starts nice and hard, but as from the village of Col San Giovanni it starts to slow down. Put your head there under the fountain and enjoy a few quiet climbing kilometers. The last two kilometres are a bit steeper, but that never becomes too hard.
The surroundings are beautiful and most of the time you climb in the shade of the forest. Now and then you are treated to increasingly beautiful views. I have not had much trouble with traffic, but there were many motorcyclists. At the top of the climb there is a restaurant for those who need something tasty.
I would like to draw your attention to the danger of the descent. The roads are really Italian: one moment fantastic, and the other moment full of potholes. If you know this it is easy to do.

De Colle del Lys is een prachtige klim! De klim begint nog lekker pittig, om vanaf het dorpje Col San Giovanni goed in te kakken. Stop je hoofd daar even onder het fonteintje en geniet van een paar rustige klimkilometers. De laatste twee kilometers zijn dan weer wat steiler, maar ook dat wordt nooit heftig.
De omgeving is prachtig en je klimt het grootste deel van de tijd in de schaduw van het bos. Af en toe word je getrakteerd op steeds mooier wordende uitzichten. Veel last van verkeer heb ik niet gehad, wel waren er veel motor rijders. Op de top van de klim zit een restaurantje voor wie behoeftig is aan iets lekkers.
Ik wil wel even de aandacht vestigen op het gevaarten de afdaling. De wegen zijn écht Italiaans: het ene moment fantastisch, en het andere moment dikke putten en gaten. Als je dat weet is het goed te doen.
