Only the old tunnel of the historic tunnel built in the 19th century remains standing (at that time with its 3 km and broken it was the longest road tunnel in Europe), but the road that goes up to the Colle from France is no longer there.
Bad weather, the disaster of the road to Colle di Tenda revealed by the drone
–
The embankment collapsed and the storm of Friday 2 October – which devastated the provinces of Cuneo and Imperia – swept away the last strip of asphalt that allowed the province of Cuneo to break the isolation with the Côte d’Azur and the Liguria through the Alps. Impossible to access the tunnel.
Cuneo, between mud and debris, this is how the Tunnel del Tenda looks from the inside: the tunnel is underwater
–
An incalculable damage to the tourist economy of Piedmont and Limone, the country most affected by the wave of bad weather in the Alps. This winter, it will be impossible to reach the Cuneo ski resorts through the pass, the traditional outlet for tourist flows from Liguria and from the hinterland of Nice and Montecarlo.
