A demanding climb that requires concentration throughout its duration, where harder sections alternate with moments of apparent respite. At the top, you arrive tired but also happy with what you have done! If trained, I recommend combining it with the ascent to Cicogna
Salita esigente che richiede concentrazione per tutta la sua durata dove si alternano tratti più duri a momenti di apparente respiro. In cima si arriva affaticati ma anche contenti di quello fatto! Se allenati consiglio di abbinarla alla salita a Cicogna
Short but very tough climb!
Got resistance of 30/30 and occasionally had to do stretches from left to right across the road to relieve the legs for a while. A real mountain gear is definitely recommended here.
Tarmac is fine and in terms of traffic it is very good, met 4 cars's over the whole climb (up and down).
At the top is a water tap.
There is also another nice picnic area with very nice views over Lake Maggiore (see photos's).
Zeer pittige klim!
Heb verzet van 30/30 en moest af en toe stukken van links naar rechts over de weg om de benen even te ontlasten. Een echt bergverzet is hier zeker aan te raden.
Asfalt is prima en qua verkeersdrukte is het zeer goed, kwam over de hele klim (op en af) 4 auto's tegen.
Boven is een water tapkraantje.
Ook is er nog een mooie picknickplaats met heel mooi uitzicht over het Lago Maggiore (zie foto's).
