Pian del Frais - 2020

Writer's picture: Davide DimacDavide Dimac

Cycling tour from Grugliasco to Pian del Frais. Another very hot day in Val Susa, even if in the morning you cycled well and with just few cars around.

Rough climb from the beginning, until at least the crossroads for Meana. With steep sections and a road entirely exposed to the sun. The central section of the climb is better because most of the road is covered by forest and so it is in the shade. But the 10 hairpin bends never seem to end. The final part allows to catch breath before reaching the top and can be done at a faster rythm.

At Pian del Frais, an ideal temperature of 20°C and several cool fountains allow you to recover the lost energies. Lunch as usual at the Locanda Assietta, close to the ski facilities.

After lunch, I took several pictures of the village and the ski lifts that in summer become huge green meadows for sunbathing, resting and playing.
