Challenging ascent through the forest, road more or less in order and final bit of dirt road, all in all a nice place even if you don't have a great open view at the top, but worth doing at least once... read more

Salita impegnativa e immersa nel bosco, strada più o meno in ordine e pezzo finale in sterrato, tutto sommato un bel posto anche se non si ha una grandissima vista aperta in cima però da fare almeno una volta

A very tough climb always in the forest with a few sections where you can rest your legs. It is undoubtedly one of the hardest climbs in Ticino. The road is narrow and not in good condition (many little rocks) and therefore dangerous on the descent. Almost no traffic. While climbing you can see the surrounding mountains (Camoghè for example) and the plain below with Bellinzona.

It never reaches insane gradients, but its length and consistency make it one of the most challenging climbs in the Ticino. A must do, in my opinion.

Non raggiunge mai pendenze folli, ma la sua lunghezza e costanza la fanno una delle salite più impegnative del Ticino. Da fare, a mio avviso.
