Tough, you cannot define it any other way. It's always pulling, several pieces above 15％. plus it is full of cars going up and down.

An ascent that is at times very hard and demanding (initial, middle and final stretch) but that always allows for passages where the road flattens out and allows you to breathe.
Environment that seems almost mountainous, but we are in Turin.
Panoramic only the square at the top, in front of the basilica.
Great climb!

The Turin super-classic, short but intense. It allows you to breathe in two places, for the rest it is continuous with almost always double-digit percentages. Nice view from the basilica if you are lucky enough to have a day without mist. Very nice to arrive at the square very early in the morning, alone and in the fresh air. Avoid Saturday and Sunday.

Tough climb, fortunately with occasional less difficult sections of 8％ where you can recuperate a bit. I didn't see much of the 100m to 21％. My Garmin, which always averages out a bit, gave a maximum of 16％.

I had thought this would be a fun little climb to do with luggage. To start the day nicely. It worked, but the legs take an immediate hit.
A really nice climb I cannot find. Bumpy road surface and a lot between houses or trees with no views. Still, it is not an unpleasant climb to do because it is so challenging. I rode this climb on an overcast day and I was already running on empty. On a sunny day, it must be even worse.

Quick and steep ascent. In about 4km you gain 400 metres. Climb that starts out immediately steep, has a couple of points where it lets up a little and then starts again. Last climb from Superga to the Basilica and you arrive on the terrace of Turin.
Tough but beautiful

Quite a steep climb on a reasonable road surface. Unfortunately, during the climb there is not much of a view, but at the top there is more.

iconic climb in cycling that finishes every year the Milano-Torino
Pretty steady gradient except for the beginning and near the ending where the gradient hits 12％ and a flatter middle section.
Once you arrived at the summit you have a great view of the city.
