This climb is a real gem: first immersed in the forest then on an airy alpine meadow with splendid views of the surrounding area. So much beauty comes at the cost of so much effort: the gradients are unforgiving and do not allow a moment's respite, and after halfway there are often suffocating stretches well over 15％ in comparison with which the sectors at 12％ seem relaxing. Right gearing, regular rhythm and good legs and you get up. It is then advisable to continue (there are a few ... read more

This climb is a real gem: first immersed in the forest then on an airy alpine meadow with splendid views of the surrounding area.
So much beauty comes at the cost of so much effort: the gradients are unforgiving and do not allow a moment's respite, and after halfway there are often suffocating stretches well over 15％ in comparison with which the sectors at 12％ seem relaxing.
Right gearing, regular rhythm and good legs and you get up.
It is then advisable to continue (there are a few very short stretches of very compact dirt road that do not create any problems) to the road that leads from Quincinetto to Scalaro and, if you still have energy, to climb to the alpine pastures that dominate the valley.

Questa salita è un'autentica perla: prima immersa nel bosco poi su un'ariosa prateria alpina con splendidi panorami sul circondario.
Tanta bellezza costa altrettanta fatica: le pendenze non perdonano e non concedono un attimo di tregua, per di più, superata la metà si trovano spesso asfissianti tratti ben oltre il 15％ in confronto ai quali i settori al 12％ sembrano rilassanti.
Rapporti giusti, ritmo regolare e gambe buone e si arriva su.
Si consiglia poi di proseguire (si incontra qualche brevissimo tratto di sterrato molto compatto che non crea alcun tipo di problema) fino alla strada che da Quincinetto conduce a Scalaro e, se si hanno ancora energie, di salire agli alpeggi che dominano la vallata.
