There's an alternative to the Mortirolo to be had. Cycle up to Aprica, then follow the Trivigno climb described on this site and on to the end of the Valico di Baite Salema, then on to the end of Passo di Guspessa, then following the undulating road towards the Mortirolo. Nice views here and there during the "traverse". See the route from Aprica here: https://climbfinder.com/en/my-routes/115755
The climb from Edolo to Aprica is rather easy; it makes sense if it is included in a tour with other climbs in the area, first and foremost the Mortirolo. Good terrain, some traffic, especially at weekends. I would suggest the alternative of the almost traffic-free road that from Edolo passes through Santicolo and rejoins Corteno Golgi (with a few more metres of elevation gain).
La salita da Edolo a l’Aprica è piuttosto facile; ha senso se inserita all’interno di un giro con altre salite della zona, prima fra tutte il Mortirolo. Fondo buono, un po’ di traffico soprattutto nei week end. Suggerirei l’alternativa della strada quasi per nulla trafficata che da Edolo passa per Santicolo e si ricongiunge a Corteno Golgi (con qualche metro di dislivello in più).
Thank you very much for the tip! We have added this quieter variant ;).

I wouldn't do that as a descent; lousy road surface and blind curves... The SS39 may be busier, but it is a nicer ride.
Die zou ik niet als afdaling doen; beroerd wegdek en onoverzichtelijke bochten… De SS39 is misschien wel drukker, maar rijdt fijner.
Easy climb, although it can feel long if you have already done some kilometres/metres. Quite busy, but not unsafe. Bring lights, especially for the tunnels!
Makkelijke klim, hoewel hij wel lang kan voelen als je in deze regio al wat kilometers/hoogtemeters in de benen hebt zitten. De weg is redelijk druk, maar niet onveilig. Het is wel aan te raden om lampjes op te zetten, sowieso voor de tunneltjes. Aprica zelf is naast de skiliften helemaal volgebouwd met hotels, appartementencomplexen en horeca. Dus genoeg gelegenheid voor een hapje en een drankje.
