Colle delle Finestre is a mountain pass at 2,178 m in the Cottian Alps in Piemonte, Italy, linking the Susa Valley and Val Chisone. The road was built around 1700 to provide access to fortifications in the area, mainly the Forte di Fenestrelle, and the final 8 km of the climb from the Susa side are unpaved gravel. It has featured in the Giro d'Italia in 2005, 2011, 2015, 2018 and 2025, and was the race's Cima Coppi (highest point) in 2015, 2018 and 2025.
