Beautiful and, to my mind, quite tough climb with beautiful views of both sides of the Matese. In particular, the views in the second part of the climb towards Cusano Mutri are magnificent. I struggled to get into my rhythm on many sections, but that may have been down to me. I actually managed to do this climb in the Christmas holidays, long live climate change - though I'm sure they will think otherwise at the top of the run-down ski village....... read more

Mooie en voor mijn gevoel behoorlijk pittige klim met prachtige blikken op beide kanten van de Matese. Met name het uitzicht in het tweede deel van de klim richting Cusano Mutri is magnifiek. Ik had moeite om in mijn ritme te komen op veel stukken, maar dat kan ook aan mijzelf hebben gelegen. Ik heb deze klim zowaar in de kerstvakantie kunnen doen, leve de klimaatverandering - al zullen ze daar bovenin het vervallen skidorp vast anders over denken...
