A very satisfying climb due to the difficulty of the ascent where the first few kilometres are the hardest and it is necessary to consider that starting from Omegna before attacking it one must climb about 3 km at 6/7%
A historic climb for older people given the ratios with which it had to be tackled years ago. From the summit, a beautiful view of Lake Orta

Salita di grande soddisfazione per la difficoltà che si affronta nell'ascesa dove i primi km sono i più duri e occorre considerare che partendo da Omegna prima di attaccarla occorre fare circa 3 km di salita al 6/7%.
Salita storica per le persone più anziane visto i rapporti con cui bisognava affrontarla anni fa. Dalla cima bella vista sul lago d'Orta

Exceptional. From Alpe Colla to Alpe Cardello is the hardest part, it is really tough, but if you find a rhythm (fortunately I have a single-crown MTB...) those 200 metres of elevation gain fly by, and at that point it becomes much easier, even though it is never a joke. You travel through a very beautiful forest on a road surface that is not very good, and the view only opens up once you reach Alpe Quaggione, a privileged place for a break at the restaurant or even in the picnic and rest area, as well as for the climb to Monte Massone.
In reality, the climb to Alpe Colla starts much lower down: Omegna (290 m) and then Germagno (590 m), so additional effort is required, also because from Germagno to Alpe Colla the slopes are always extremely steep.

Eccezionale. Da Alpe Colla a Alpe Cardello c'è la parte più difficile, è davvero dura ma se si trova un ritmo (io fortunatamente ho una mtb monocorona...) quei 200 mt di dislivello volano via, e a quel punto diventa molto più semplice pur non essendo mai uno scherzo. Si viaggia in un bosco molto bello su fondo stradale non eccelso, il panorama si apre solo giunti all'Alpe Quaggione, luogo privilegiato per una pausa al ristorante o anche nell'area attrezzata per picnic e riposo, oltre che per la scalata al Monte Massone.
In realtà la salita per arrivare al Alpe Colla parte da parecchio più in basso: Omegna (290 mt) e successivamente Germagno (590 mt), per cui c'è da mettere in conto ulteriore fatica anche perché da Germagno a Alpe Colla le pendenze sono sempre estremamente dure.

A tough climb from Omegna up to Valstrona, passing through Germagno and ending at Alpe Quaggione with a magnificent view of Lake Orta.

Dura ascesa che da Omegna si inerpica verso la Valstrona, passando per Germagno e si conclude all'Alpe Quaggione con magnifica vista sul Lago d'Orta.
