Steep at first, but that's after only 3km. Then rolling with fewer and fewer views. The last 9 to 10km becomes work. Although the views get nicer, I found the reward at the top moderate. An artificial lake you couldn't sit comfortably by. Quickly turned around for a terrace a bit lower on the mountain

In het begin steil, maar dat is na slechts 3km. Daarna glooiend met steeds minder uitzicht. De laatste 9 a 10km wordt het werken. Hoewel het uitzicht mooier wordt, vond ik de beloning op de top matig. Een kunstmatig meer waar je niet lekker aan kon zitten. Snel omgedraaid voor een terrasje wat lager op de berg

You need to wait and wait, working for 15+ pleasant km with low slopes, thinking where the climb is. Until you reach the last part, a narrow, hairpinned, steep and quiet road through rural stone houses, horses, and peace. A taste of conquer.

Quite a nice, chilled out climb, except the two steeper sections: first right at the start in Villadossola, and the second one just around the hairpins leading to Alpe Cheggio. The central 10 km really let you catch your breath. A highlight is the power plant building in Rovesca and of course the lake at the top.

A beautiful climb that really comes to life in the last 6 km.
The first 3 km you cycle out of Villadossola and it can be quite tough at times.
After that you can cycle your 9km and look over the railing to see how deep the ravine runs under you.
In Antronapiana you can refuel for narrow roads and increasing steepness to come.
To reach the top of the reservoir, you will have to walk 80 metres unpaved, but this is easy to do.
Views are great, despite the fact that it was quite cloudy for me.

Een mooie klim die in de laatste 6km pas echt tot leven komt.
De eerste 3 km fiets je Villadossola uit en kan het soms behoorlijk pittig zijn.
Daarna kun je je 9km lekker losfietsen en af en toe eens over de railing kijken hoe diep het ravijn onder je doorloopt.
In Antronapiana kun je even bijtanken voor smalle wegen en toenemende steilte die nog gaan komen.
Om boven het stuwmeer te bereiken zul je een 80 meter onverhard moeten afleggen, maar dit is goed te doen.
Uitzichten zijn geweldig, ondanks dat het bij mij aardig bewolkt was.
