Impressive mountain massifs frame the sun terrace on which Sauze d'Oulx lies at the far end of the Susa Valley. The king in the round is undoubtedly the 3138 metre high Mont Chaberton, which dominates the valley with its pyramid-like shape. The fort on its summit makes the image of a ruler perfect, as the well-preserved battlements look like a crown from a distance. If you look very closely, you can see wafer-thin lines engraved like artistic tattoos on every flank of the mountain, sometimes dead straight, sometimes wildly jagged, spiralling up to dizzying heights. Guido and I are also travelling along one of those old military supply routes. From Sauze, a gravel track leads up to Colle Basset, where we meet the famous Strada dell'Assietta. Over a distance of around 30 kilometres, this legendary ridge road runs along the mountain ridge between Val di Susa and Val Chisone, offering great views. In terms of altitude, it never once falls below the 2000 metre mark. However, the way in which the road was constructed is spectacular and can be compared to the Passo Tremalzo on Lake Garda.

You can now find the GPS data for all the tours presented in BIKE in the professional tour portal of www.bike-gps.com. The data was created with pinpoint accuracy in high-resolution satellite maps and will also be available as RichTracks in future. For you, this means: no more procedures! For us, it means a considerable amount of extra work. That's why this service will have a price in future, but at 3 cents per kilometre, it's absolutely affordable.
From now on, you will receive this for every tour:
1. very precise and well-maintained GPS data
2. all waypoints of a tour
3. road book with arrow symbols and all tour data
4. very precise elevation profile with underground information
All of this is conveniently contained in a single file. You can also order the corresponding digital maps (1.8 cents per square kilometre). You will receive these in the RichTrack file (double-click on the file to open the map and RichTrack in the RichTrack software at the same time).
IMPORTANT: To open the data, please download our free RichTrack Factory software, which is available free of charge from www.bike-gps.com can download. The software allows you to view and print the roadbook and elevation profile and download the GPS tracks and waypoints to all common GPS devices (Garmin, VDO, MyNav, Xplova).
We wish you lots of fun with the new touring system from BIKE and
