Long but easy climb. Unfortunately, the weather worsened on the way up and at Belmonte I found myself in rain and fog. Beautiful descent on the Oasi Zegna, fast and with good ground, amidst woods and rhododendron blossoms.... read more

Salita lunga ma facile. Purtroppo il tempo è peggiorato salendo e a Belmonte mi sono trovato tra pioggia e nebbia. Bella discesa sull'Oasi Zegna, veloce e con fondo buono, in mezzo a boschi e fioriture di rododendro.

Beautiful climb with breathtaking views of the valley. The climb from Biella to the Oasi Zegna is really easy, with many flat sections and a few descents. It becomes much harder in places after the Oasis until the arrival of the ski lifts. The descent to Rosazza is beautiful and scenic. Done early in the morning, very little traffic

Bellissima salita con un panorama sulla valle mozzafiato. La salita da Biella fino all'Oasi Zegna è davvero pedabilissima, molti punti di pianura e qualche discesa. Diventa a tratti molto più dura dopo l'Oasi fino all'arrivo degli impianti sciistici. La discesa verso Rosazza è bella e panoramica. Fatta di primo mattino, pochissimo traffico

This climb was my first Alp ever. So I am inexperienced. It is doable. I cycled the route from Spa Hotel Sandigliano. That is about 88 km there and back. Besides this climb, you also have to go back and forth over 700hm. The mountain itself is about 1400m. You come over firstly a bridge from which one bungyjumned. It is a good drive and the view from Panoramica Zegna is fantastic! Leave early because the sun can be hot.

Deze beklimming was mijn eerste Alp ooit. Ben dus onervaren. Hij is goed te doen. Zelf fietste ik de route vanuit Spa Hotel Sandigliano. Dat is heen en terug zo'n 88km. Naast deze klim moet je ook heen en terug nog over 700hm. De berg zelf is ca. 1400m. Je komt over eersr over een brug waar men vanaf bungyjumned. Het is goed te rijden en het uitzicht vanaf Panoramica Zegna is fantastisch! Wel vroeg vertrekken ivm de zon die heet kan zijn. Overigens zijn er veel meet haarspeldbochten dan 1. Ik heb ze niet geteld, maar veel meer tijdens mijn tocht.
