This area is where they organized the Torino 2006 Olympic Winter games.
It's a beautiful place in summer and in winter lots of fun on the snow!

On this specific pass it was fought The Battle of Assietta in the Italian campaign of the War of the Austrian Succession on July 19, 1747.
It resulted in a defeat for France against the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
