Pila can be started from two sides from the city of Aosta. Both rides end at the ski station on the summit. This is slightly lighter (and less crowded) than the ride via Charvensod. The two climbs are perfect to hurt your legs on a morning or afternoon in between and/or if you have already done one of the beautiful climbs towards Grand Paradiso or the Cervino.
Leaving the towns of Aosta behind, the road winds up through meadows and forests. The Pila rides miss the beautiful views of the mentioned long climbs: it is mainly about firm climbing. There are regular steep parts. The roads are reasonably good. At the top you leave the ski station for what it is and you can enjoy beautiful views of the valley and the Cervino/Matterhorn.

Pila kan van twee kanten begonnen worden vanuit de stad Aosta. Beide ritten eindigen in het ski station op de top. Deze is iets lichter (en minder druk) dan de rit via Charvensod. De twee beklimmingen lenen zich prima om je benen te pijnigen op een ochtend of middag tussendoor en/of als je al één van de mooie beklimmingen richting Grand Paradiso of de Cervino hebt gedaan.
Als je de Aosta stadjes achter je hebt gelaten, slingert de weg zich door weide- en bosgebied omhoog. De Pila ritten missen de fraaie vergezichten van de genoemde lange beklimmingen: het gaat vooral om stevig klimmen. Er zitten regelmatig steile stukken in. De wegen zijn redelijk goed. Boven laat je het ski station voor wat het is en kun je genieten van mooi uitzicht op dal en de Cervino/Matterhorn.
