You can miss all that out using roads. It’s paved from the top of the Finestre, you descend, then turn right and climb up to Sestriere, then descend down to Cesana Torinese, turn right again and follow that road all the way back to Susa. It’s mainly downhill.
I've climbed up the gravel side, descnded the road side stopped at a cafe and then I think we rode up Sestriere. Does that make sense? I dunno, I was having fun that day, the missus less so.
I'd need to see a map and then try and work out wtf we did. I just ride. Brain like goldfish.
