This historic path is certainly one of the most fascinating destinations in Sauze d'Oulx and the view from the top is priceless.
It starts from the hamlet of Richardette and leads to the Faro degli Alpini/Monte Genevris, passing the Colle di Costa Piana. The itinerary crosses a rather steep, densely wooded comba and then follows the route of the now abandoned tracks to the Colle di Costa Piana, where the Assietta road crosses. The final stretch follows the ridge, with views to the left of the Susa Valley and to the right of the Chisone Valley. Now above the wooded area, surrounded by alpine meadows and fields of edelweiss and alpine flowers, you reach Monte Genevris - Faro degli Alpini. From here, on the watershed, there is a panoramic view of the mountains of the upper Susa and Chisone valleys, as well as those of neighbouring France.
Assistance and technical description by Barbara Demonte - environmental guide.
The itinerary starts at Richardette, at an altitude of 1,700 metres, near the chapel and the fountain. Coming from Sauze d'Oulx, at the bend just before the chapel, a path starts on the right with indications for Monte Genevris. The first stretch passes in front of a splendid chalet and therefore seems to be a private road. Past the refuge, after a gentle stretch and after crossing the first stream, the path begins to climb steeply through the woods until, at about 1900m, it crosses the road coming from Clotes. Turn left and, after about 200 metres, cross the dirt road for Sportinia and go straight on along the path signposted for the Faro degli Alpini lighthouse. After a short straight stretch, ignore the track that climbs steeply to the right and continue to the left. The short flat stretch immediately turns uphill and, after a few hairpin bends, you pass an artificial reservoir (on the right) known as the Diga Ciaudano at an altitude of around 2070 metres. The path continues to the left of the dam along a steep slope (former track no. 40). After passing the station of the disused ski-lift (on the right), you go through a few more hairpin bends to reach the Colle di Costa Piana, still on dirt road, at an altitude of about 2,320 m. Ignoring the Strada dell'Assietta, turn left and follow the ridge path, which passes near a bunker at 2,360 m, to reach Monte Genevris or Faro degli Alpini at 2,535 m. Not far from the top, towards the east, the famous Assietta road crosses the Colle di Costa Piana, which can be partly followed if you decide to make a loop on the way back, passing by Col Blegier, Ferro di Cavallo and Lago Laune.
