Long rapport climb from the bottom of the Pian di Venola valley to Ca' Bortolani; from here many connections are possible (Montepastore, Savigno, Tolè and the innermost Apennines...). The first half is easier, almost always under or around 5％; in the second half there are some slightly more challenging stretches, but within reach. Little traffic, decent asphalt: very hot, however, in summer, being almost all exposed to the sun and at low altitudes.... read more

Lunga salita da rapportone, che dal fondovalle di Pian di Venola porta a Ca' Bortolani; da qui possibili molti collegamenti (Montepastore, Savigno, Tolè e l'Appenninno più interno...). Più facile la prima metà, quasi sempre sotto o intorno al 5％; nella seconda parte ci sono dei tratti lievemente più impegnativi, ma alla portata. Poco traffico, asfalto discreto: molto calda però d'estate, essendo quasi tutta esposta al sole e a quote basse.
