Not a climb for untrained cyclists. It has some serious sections and your mountain gear will come in handy. During the climb, the bad road surface doesn't bother you too much, but when descending you have to be careful because of the many holes and cracks.
Geen klim voor ongetrainde fietsers. Zitten serieuze stukken in en je bergverzet komt goed van pas. Tijdens het klimmen heb je niet zoveel last van het slechte wegdek maar met dalen moet je goed opletten ivm de vele gaten en scheuren.
Middle section gradient might feel a little bit on gradient but all other is nicely rideable. Road surface gets little challenging near the top.
Nice climb with great views to lake Como. I counted 30 hairpins and encountered almost no traffic in the early morning. Some steep sections, especially in the middle. Towards the end, the road surface becomes gradually worse. While climbing, this is not a big issue. On the descent, expect to be slow because of the poor road surface.
Spectacular climb, both in terms of scenery and traffic: practically nil.
Asphalt in excellent condition except for a few stretches towards the end (always good anyway) with a couple of concrete sections but in good condition.
The first stretch is rideable, then the middle one is the most challenging with 3-4 km always over 10％, by feel, then it becomes rideable again.
At the top it's alpe, with the asphalt road that stops and the dirt road begins.
A jewel of the upper Lario
Salita spettacolare, sia dal punto di vista paesaggistico che per quanto riguarda il traffico: praticamente nullo.
Asfalto in ottima condizione tranne qualche tratto verso la fine ( sempre buono comunque ) con un paio di tratti in cemento ma in buono stato.
Pedalabile il primo tratto, poi quello centrale è il più impegnativo con 3-4 km sempre oltre il 10％, a sensazione, poi torna pedalabile.
In cima è alpe, con la strada asfaltata che si interrompe e inizia lo sterrato.
Un gioiello dell’alto Lario
