Beautiful, even climb with some hairpin bends and breathtaking views. The abbey at the top is worth a visit.
Bellissima salita regolare con alcuni tornanti e panorami mozzafiato. L'abbazia in cima merita una visita.
Beautiful climb -- longish with hairpins but never gets that steep. Stays more or less at 5% the entire time. Lots of panoramic stopping points along the way with great views of the flats around it. There was little traffic when I ascended in January 2022 -- prob more in summer but prob stays ok. You can't bring your bike inside the abbey at the top of the hill but I left mine (unlocked!) next to the security guard at the entrance to the parking lot, he said he'd watch for me. The abbey inside is beautiful and worth a quick walk -- I bought a bottle of amaro made by the monks inside.
The descent is great if you like going fast because you don't have a hairpin every sec to slow you down, and good visibility all around.
If you want another climb nearby, descent and head from here to Terelle.
Note: I was warned it can get quite foggy up here but the day I went up had a perfect blue sky.
