Colle delle Finestre, at an elevation of 2178 m. above the sea level, is a mountain pass in the Alps, in the Italian region of Piemonte, Italy, linking Susa Valley and Cisone Valley. The road was built around 1700 to gain access to the fortresses in the zone, mainly the Forte di Fenestrelle.
The road serves as tourist attraction although the last 7,9 kilometres of the road from Susa are not asphalted. This is in fact the military part of the road, which was "paved" in order to mount military equipment.
Stage 19 of 2005 Giro d'Italia crossed Colle delle Finestre, Danilo Di Luca being the first one on the top. The stage, finishing in Sestriere, was won by Venezuelan José Rujano.
Apparently, as a result of its popularity thanks to its appearance in the Giro d'Italia in 2005, the road is even in worse conditions after loads of summer traffic. And it seems this colle will appear in some editions in the future, starting in 2011.
There are 2 ways to get the summit. Starting from Depot, the Colle delle Finestre ascent is 16 km long. Over this distance, you climb 1125 heightmeters. The average percentage is thus 7 %.
And starting from Susa, the Colle delle Finestre ascent is 18.62 km long. Over this distance, you climb 1694 heightmeters. The average percentage is thus 9.1 %.
The road opens from June, 1st to October, 30th, only.
