The Sassi-Superga climb is a road route that starts in Turin’s Sassi neighborhood and winds steadily uphill toward the hill. The route follows paved roads throughout, with consistent gradients that require a steady pedaling effort but are accessible even to less-trained cyclists. Along the route, the road winds through curves, offering glimpses of the city, until it reaches the ultimate destination: the Basilica of Superga, a scenic viewpoint overlooking Turin. This destination offers a visual and cultural reward, making the climb a classic for every road bike enthusiast.

1. Roads are open to motor vehicle traffic; we recommend adjusting your speed according to your abilities and out of respect for other road users.

3. Make sure your bike’s front and rear lights are working.
4. Always wear a helmet
5. Signal your intention to move in advance by using your arms, and before moving, check that no vehicles are approaching from behind.
