Long climb with little traffic. Surface decent/good, the further you go the harder it gets.
Długi podjazd z małym ruchem samochodowym. Nawierzchnia przyzwoita / dobra, Im dalej tym mocniej daje po nogach.
The climb up to the junction for Monte Muggio is always rideable, then becomes more demanding up to the summit. Done during the week and in April, so zero traffic. On summer weekends, I'm afraid there's a lot of cars and motorbikes. At Vendrogno, near the church, there is a drinking fountain. At the top, refreshment facilities (I don't know if they are open all year round). Excellent asphalt until the fork, then it remains in good condition. The climb always offers wonderful views of the lake and the Grigna. Possibility of combining the ascent to the Agueglio pass to complete the lambing or continuing on the Valsassina cycle path
Salita che fino al bivio per monte Muggio è sempre pedalabile, poi diventa più impegnativa fino al cima. Fatta in settimana e ad aprile, quindi traffico pari a zero. Nei week end estivi ho paura che ci sia un gran viavai di macchine e moto. A Vendrogno, in prossimità della chiesa, presenza di fontanella. In cima possibilità di ristoro (non so se sono aperti tutto l'anno). Asfalto ottimo fino al bivio, poi rimane comunque in buono stato. La salita regala sempre scorci meravigliosi sul lago e sulla Grigna. Possibilità di abbinare la salita al passo Agueglio per completare l'agnello oppure di proseguire sulla ciclabile della Valsassina
Beautiful climb from Bellano.
The first part is nice and not hard except for few steep short sections but be aware that the last 6 km will test your legs painfully. The view on top is really amazing!
A must do ride if you are around!
I did it during the week and in winter so traffic was basically zero. Asphalt is average but there are some parts where it shows quite worse conditions. Be careful when you downhill.

From Bellano to Vendrogno good for relaxing a bit on a climb of almost 8 km not too demanding almost non-existent traffic. Beautiful!
Da Bellano a Vendrogno buonissima per rilassarsi un po su una salita di quasi 8 km non troppo impegnativa traffico quasi inesistente. Bella!
There is very little traffic all day and the roads are generally good except for a few places. I had my 14 year old son with me one day and he is very inexperienced on a bike. It was completely safe to have him along and we met a maximum of 6 cars on the road both up and down.
Beautiful climb overlooking the Lecco branch of the lake, very long, perfect asphalt with regular gradients in the first 10 km, then a couple of km of falsiopiano prepare for the grand finale, 6 really hard km leading to the Alpe. Nice walk to the top. Not to be missed!!!
Bellissima salita che sovrasta il ramo lecchese del lago, molto lunga, asfalto perfetto con pendenze regolari nei primi 10 km, poi un paio di km di falsiopiano preparano al gran finale, 6 km davvero duri che portano all'Alpe. Belle camminate da fare in cima. Imperdibile!!!
16/9/2024. Starting from Bellano, the first 2 km are "challenging" then up to 1,000 metres the gradients are not particularly steep. The last six kilometres, on the other hand, are quite hard and - in my opinion - averaging 10％. Traffic is non-existent (but I went up on a Monday). Very clever signposting with the missing km to the finish, the altitude and the average gradients of the next section. good road surface. For the descent, you can choose different roads. There are interesting variants in the vicinity.
16/9/2024. Partito da Bellano, i primi 2 km sono "stimolanti", poi sino ai mille metri di altitudine le pendenze non sono particolarmente elevate. Gli ultimi sei km invece sono abbastanza duri e - secondo me - con una media del 10％. Traffico inesistente (ma sono salito di lunedì). Molto intelligente la segnaletica con i km mancanti all'arrivo, l'altitudine e le medie delle pendenze del tratto successivo. manto stradale buono. Per la discesa si possono scegliere diverse strade. Nei pressi ci sono varianti interessanti.
Classic climb, long and steady but rewarding. Traffic only on summer weekends (mornings uphill, afternoons downhill) but not being a pass, at least few motorbikes are seen.
Classica salita, lunga e costante ma appagante. Traffico solo nei weekend estivi (la mattina in salita, il pomeriggio in discesa) ma non essendo un passo, almeno di moto se ne vedono poche.
Beautiful long climb that starts directly from Bellano via a lot of hairpin bends. From the village you haves great views of Lake Como. You then cycle through the forest and meander through several villages, with the gradients becoming milder. At about 6 kilometres before the summit, the percentages get considerably spicier and the road surface a bit worse too. From 3 kilometres from the summit, you are then treated to stunning views over Lake Como and Lake Lugano beyond. An absolute highlight around Lake Como that is well worth it!
Prachtige lange klim die direct vanaf de rivieroever in Bellano direct via een heleboel haarspeldbochten begint. Vanuit het dorp hb je een prachtig uitzicht op het Comomeer. Daarna fiets je het bos en en slinger je door een aantal dorpen, waarbij de stijgingspercentages milder worden. Op ongeveer 6 kilometer vor de top wordt de percentages flink pittiger en het wegdek ook wat slechter. Vanaf 3 kilometer van de top wordt je vervolgens getrakteerd op prachtige vergezichten over het Comomeer en het daarachter gelegen meer van Lugano. Een absoluut hoogtepunt rond het Comomeer die zeer de moeite waard is!
The ascent from Bellano to Narro where the hard stretch actually begins is very pleasant, often in the shade with a fountain at Vendrogno. Very limited vehicular traffic. Some sand was found on the small bridge on the slightly downhill section about halfway up the climb and this could have been dangerous. The last 6km are definitely tiring especially with temperatures above 30°C.
I would do Vendrogno again excluding the hard section. Coming from a loop that closes on Taceno in an anti-clockwise direction from Premana, Introzzo and Dervio. Good cycling
La salita da Bellano fino a Narro dove effettivamente inizia il tratto duro è molto gradevole spesso in ombra con fontana a Vendrogno. Traffico veicolare limitatissimo. Trovata della sabbia sul ponticello del tratto in leggera discesa a circa metà salita e questo poteva risultare pericoloso. Gli ultimi 6km sono decisamente faticosi specialmente con temperature sopra i 30°C.
Rifarei la Vendrogno escludendo il tratto duro. Arrivando da giro ad anello che si chiude su Taceno in senso antiorario da Premana, Introzzo e Dervio. Ottima pedalata
Nicely tough climb. In high temperature, especially tough at bottom of climb. View at the top is beautiful. Last stretch to the real summit doable on foot. Don't want to go by mountain bike (at least......me not).
Mooi zware klim. Bij hoge temperatuur vooral onderin de klim zwaar. Uitzicht boven is mooi. Laatste stuk naar de echte top goed te doen te voet. Wil niet met de mountainbike (althans......mij niet)
For me, this is one of the most beautiful and challenging climbs on the upper Lake Como. Considered the Gavia of the lake, it is long and steady. You need good legs, especially in the final part.
Beautiful views of the lake on the way up and down from Vendrogno.
Fountains only in the villages.
Possibility of refreshments at the finish.
Una delle salite per me più belle e impegnative dell'alto lago di Como. Considerata il Gavia del lago, è lunga e costante. Serve gamba buona soprattutto nella parte finale.
Bei panorami sul lago salendo e scendendo da Vendrogno.
Fontane solo nei paesi.
Possibilità di ristoro all'arrivo.
Beautiful climb on Lake Lecco, fairly long and constant, much of it in the woods, very limited traffic on weekdays, you need cross-country skiing, I recommend a minimum of 34/28 to save your leg. I recommend May and September. ciao.
Bella salita sul lago di Lecco, abbastanza lunga e costante, buona parte in mezzo alla vegetazione del bosco, traffico molto limitato nei giorni feriali, serve fondo , consiglio minimo 34/28 per salvare la gamba. Consiglio maggio e settembre .ciao.
A day that began with rain, which at one point subsided and we drove into a damp dream world filled with low clouds. Magnificent! But of course, the view from the summit was not very good because of this. Next, I cycled to Dervio via the Valvaronne Valley. That is by far the most beautiful place I have ever cycled (even more beautiful than Norway). So tip! After the descent of 'the second part' turn left instead of right back to Bellano.
Een dag die begon met regen, dat trok op een gegeven moment weg en daardoor in een vochtige, met lag wolken gevulde droomwereld gereden. Prachtig! Maar hierdoor was het uitzicht op de top natuurlijk niet best. Vervolgens via de Valvaronnevalei naar Dervio gefietst. Dat is by far het mooiste waar ik ooit gefietst heb (zelfs mooier dan Noorwegen). Dus tip! Ga na de afdaling van 'het tweede deel' linksaf ipv rechtsaf terug naar Bellano.
Erg mooie klim en, zoals gezegd, de laatste 6km behoorlijk pittig. Maar het uitzicht is het uiteindelijk waard.
Pas op met afdalen, want er komen nog aardig wat auto's omhoog.
Niet heel erg lekker afdalen ook, want het telt enorm veel haarspeldbochten

Nice climb! Last kilometres are the toughest and really weigh on you! But super nice overview on top of the Como lake! Do it if you are in the neighbourhood!
Leuke klim! Laatste kilometers zijn wel de zwaarste en wegen echt door! Wel super mooi overzicht boven op het Como meer! Moet je doen als je in de geburen bent!
Nice long climb, first 15km easy to do, don't go too fast, because you'll find yourself (like me) on the last 5km.....
Mooie lange klim, eerste 15km prima te doen, ga niet te hard, want je komt jezelf (zoals ik) tegen op de laatste 5km…..
