Colle delle Finistre and associated tracks from Susa to Sestriere on France /Italy. Popular track which a Freelander would easily cope with. It is shown on the large scale Road maps, starts as tarmac then goes to gravel with fantastic views.

We did this after the track around Mont Cenis, then went on to some tracks up to the Colle Sommelier and the Rochmolles Valley, all good gravel tracks and in the same area. That was last year's trip so can't comment on the condition this year, but usually they seem to be well maintained. Have fun Nick. |

Superb - currently stopped just north of Reims so we shall make our way to the location suggested and explore. Looks like a good area for walking/hiking as well so right up our street.

Just left the area after four days. We stayed at a campsite just under the colle which was really quiet (only cold water). The freelander did surprisingly well on the longer route over the mountain tops which had fantastic views. We also climbed a few of the surrounding peaks on foot. Most of the users of the long off road routes seemed to be treating the environment and trails well however I noticed a lot of full on raid buggies and motorcross bikes using the roads as race tracks on Sunday. Overall a great area to explore.
I picked up a guide to off-road trails in the tourist office which gives a series of long (140km) routes to follow in the area. I will definitely go back with the series 1 or the defender at some stage. Click image to enlarge |
