This side allows you to climb this legendary pass on a tarmac road.
Nothing particularly difficult, but contrary to previous comments, I found the gradient uneven and the surface just as uneven: good most of the time, but mediocre in places. It's not a problem on the way up, but you have to be careful on the way down.
Nonetheless, the bucolic mountain setting is utterly charming and well worth the diversions.
Ce côté-ci permet de gravir par une route goudronnée ce col légendaire.
Rien de particulièrement difficile, mais contrairement aux précédents commentaires, j'ai trouvé la pente irrégulière et le revêtement tout aussi irrégulier : bon le plus souvent, mais médiocre à certains endroits. Ce n'est pas gênant à la montée, mais il faut rester prudent à la descente.
Néanmoins, l'environnement bucolique de montagne est tout à fait charmant et vaut largement le détour.
Nice climb through the mountain pastures with lots of free roaming sheep and tarps.
Steady, rolling climb, correct tarmac throughout, almost no traffic
Belle montée à travers les alpages de montagne avec plein de moutons et de bâches en liberté.
Montée régulière, roulante, goudron correct de bout en bout, quasi aucune circulation
On 23/08/2020, after the popular climb from Susa, I also cycled up the other side of the Colle delle Finestre.
Signposted to Balboutt/Pian dell'Alpe, the start of the climb is indicated at the junction of the main road Sestriere-Pinerolo.
Compared to the most discussed and described other side, the south side is obviously less steep, shorter, with fewer hairpins and no off road part, but good tarmac with even a slight downhill and with two food and beverage outlets on the way.
Nevertheless, this climb is absolutely worth the effort of cycling through the open panoramic mountain landscape, because you are not cycling through the Parco Naturale Orsiera Rocciavrè for nothing and the top remains a magical place for cycling.
Op 23/08/2020 na de populaire beklimming vanuit Susa ook nog de andere kant van de Colle delle Finestre op gefietst.
Met wegwijzer naar Balboutt/Pian dell'Alpe wordt de start van de klim op de afslag van de grote weg Sestriere-Pinerolo aangegeven.
In vergelijking met de meest besproken en beschreven andere zijde is de zuidkant uiteraard minder steil, korter, met minder haarspeldbochten en geen off road deel , doch goed asfalt met zelfs een lichte afdaling en met twee eet en drinkgelegenheden onderweg.
Desondanks is deze beklimming absoluut de fietsmoeite waard door het open panoramische berglandschap, want je fietst niet voor niks door het Parco Naturale Orsiera Rocciavrè en de top blijft natuurlijk een magische wielerplaats.
