An ascent that is at times very hard and demanding (initial, middle and final stretch) but that always allows for passages where the road flattens out and allows you to breathe.
Environment that seems almost mountainous, but we are in Turin.
Panoramic only the square at the top, in front of the basilica.
Great climb!
Salita a tratti molto dura e impegnativa (tratto iniziale, a metá e conclusivo) ma che concede sempre comunque passaggi dove la strada spiana e permette di respirare.
Ambiente che sembra quasi di montagna, ma siamo a Torino.
Panoramico solo il piazzale in cima, davanti alla basilica.
Gran bella salita!
The Turin super-classic, short but intense. It allows you to breathe in two places, for the rest it is continuous with almost always double-digit percentages. Nice view from the basilica if you are lucky enough to have a day without mist. Very nice to arrive at the square very early in the morning, alone and in the fresh air. Avoid Saturday and Sunday.
La super-classica dei torinesi, breve ma intensa. Permette di respirare in due punti, per il resto è continua con percentuali quasi sempre a due cifre. Bel panorama dalla basilica se si ha la fortuna di una giornata senza foschia. Molto bello arrivare al piazzale la mattina prestissimo, soli e con l'aria fresca. Da evitare sabato e domenica.
Tough climb, fortunately with occasional less difficult sections of 8％ where you can recuperate a bit. I didn't see much of the 100m to 21％. My Garmin, which always averages out a bit, gave a maximum of 16％.
Stevige beklimming, gelukkig met af en toe minder zware stukken van 8％ waar je wat ka recupereren. Van die 100m aan 21％ heb ik niet veel gezien. Mijn Garmin, die altijd wel wat uitmiddelt gaf max 16％ aan.
Na het prachtige uitzicht op de top wordt je ook nog eens beloond door een heerlijk afdeling langs de via dei colli, waar je eens zonder toegeknepen remmen naar beneden kan zoeven, Overveen prima asfalt.
I had thought this would be a fun little climb to do with luggage. To start the day nicely. It worked, but the legs take an immediate hit.
A really nice climb I cannot find. Bumpy road surface and a lot between houses or trees with no views. Still, it is not an unpleasant climb to do because it is so challenging. I rode this climb on an overcast day and I was already running on empty. On a sunny day, it must be even worse.
Ik had bedacht dat dit een leuk klimmetje was om met bagage te doen. Om leuk de dag mee te starten. Dat is gelukt, maar de benen krijgen wel meteen een klap.
Een echt mooie klim kan ik het niet vinden. Hobbelig wegdek en veel tussen huizen of bomen zonder uitzicht. Toch is het geen vervelende klim om te doen omdat het zo uitdagend is. Ik reed deze klim op een bewolkte dag en ik liep al leeg. Op een zonnige dag moet dat nog erger zijn.
Quick and steep ascent. In about 4km you gain 400 metres. Climb that starts out immediately steep, has a couple of points where it lets up a little and then starts again. Last climb from Superga to the Basilica and you arrive on the terrace of Turin.
Tough but beautiful
Salita rapida e ripida. In circa 4km si guadagnano 400mt. Salita che parte subito ripida, ha un paio di punti in cui molla un poco e poi riparte. Ultimo strappo da Superga alla Basilica e si arriva sulla terrazza di Torino.
Dura ma bella
Quite a steep climb on a reasonable road surface. Unfortunately, during the climb there is not much of a view, but at the top there is more.
Flink steile klim op redelijk wegdek. Helaas tijdens de klim weinig uitzicht, maar bovenop des te meer.
iconic climb in cycling that finishes every year the Milano-Torino
Pretty steady gradient except for the beginning and near the ending where the gradient hits 12％ and a flatter middle section.
Once you arrived at the summit you have a great view of the city.
