Explore the peaks of Piedmont on the Assietta E-Bike Tour, a legendary adventure that combines epic effort with modern technology. A journey through military history and unspoiled nature, designed for those who want to get close to the sky.
Departure and Route
The journey begins at 9:00 a.m. at the Mobilitas e-bike rental shop in Pragelato (Viale IV Novembre, 11). After a short briefing, you'll warm up by cycling downhill to the picturesque hamlet of Pourières. From here, the real climb begins: a steady, scenic ascent that leads to the high-altitude pastures of Pian dell'Alpe.
Once you reach the ridge, you will take the famous Strada dell'Assietta (Assietta Road), which winds between Colle dell'Assietta and Testa dell'Assietta (2,566 m / 8,422 ft). The route passes by historic fortifications and monuments, offering a commanding view of the Chisone and Susa valleys.
Stops and Refreshments
Along the way, the go-to spot for a refreshing break is the Casa Assietta mountain hut, where you can enjoy traditional Alpine cuisine at an altitude of over 6,562 feet (2,000 metres), surrounded by a silence broken only by the wind.
What the package includes
Rental of a Mobilitas full-suspension eMTB (maximum stability and comfort).
Licensed cycling tour escort for the entire tour.
Helmet and safety kit.
Technical assistance along the way.
✨ The Thrill of Dusk
Return to Pragelato is scheduled for 7:00 PM. This time of day offers the most intense experience: cycling as the sun begins to set, transforming the peaks of the Alps into golden and purple giants. At dusk, the air turns crisp, and the landscape takes on an otherworldly quality. Riding under the first stars, guided by the light of your e-bike's powerful headlights, offers the thrill of moving through a suspended world, where the Milky Way seems almost within reach and the mountains reveal their most secret, untamed soul.
