The Colle di Sampeyre (French: Col d'Sampeyre ) is a 2284 m slm high alpine pass in the province of Cuneo in the Italian Piedmont .

Location and surroundings

The continuously paved, almost two-lane pass road leads from Sampeyre in the Valle Varaita, mostly wooded, to the top of the pass with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains. A three-kilometer high road leads to the south ramp, there alternatively down to Stroppo in the Valle Maira or via Elva and a side valley also to the Maira .

At the top of the pass, the so-called Varaita-Maira-Kammstraße crosses a gravel road. The road to Colle d'Esischie begins in Ponte Marmora, just a short distance from the southern end .
