Great climb!!! very long and with two "faces" as far as Esino you climb steadily with fantastic views of the lake, then a "little wall" in the centre of town makes us realise that things are changing, you turn right for Cainallo and continue with ramps, very hard, alternating with small fals-floors. The last stretch is really demanding. A must do!!!

Beautiful, done several times with great views of the Lario. In fact, the climb continues a little further to the Vo' di Moncòdeno car park.
