• Has anyone descended the dirt on the Finestre? Instinct tells me it’d be no fun but to get back to Susa is quite the trek if you go down the tarmac to the other side.

    It’s another climb I did bike packing so it’d be nice to do it on a lighter bike.

  • No, but it's also not that long - a few km so I'm sure you could go down gingerly then the majority of the descent is paved. It's a long was around, but mostly downhill once you're past Sestriere though. I really enjoyed that loop, and the huge fort is worth seeing

    These are both amazing on the back side of Fenistre, the first particularly worth it regardless of what side you're heading back down on

    And we stayed a few days in Usseaux which was lovely
