Nice climb that actually consists of 3 stages. First stretch out of Gargnano is about 7km and climbs a 6 per cent average with hairpins above Lake Garda. The sun shining unprotected here makes it feel spicier than it looks (leave early is the tip). Then follows a stretch of about 12km up and down (along the reservoir). Here you cycle along the historic border between Italy and Austria/Hungary before WWI. There was at least as much fighting here as on the western front. For those interested in the history of Europe (see plaque on photo). The last 7km are then ascending a 7% average. Also a nice stretch with hairpins. At the top, apart from a nameplate, there is little to see. Just before the summit is a petrol station where you can score a cafè and refill your water bottles. Then on to Lake Idro or back to Lake Garda.

Mooie klim die eigenlijk uit 3 fasen bestaat. Eerste stuk gargnano uit is ongeveer 7km en klimt a 6 procent gemiddeld met haarspelden boven het gardameer uit. Door de zon die hier onbeschermd schijnt voelt het pittiger aan dan het lijkt (vroeg vertrekken is de tip). Dan volgt een stuk van ongeveer 12km op en af (langs het stuwmeer). Je fietst hier over de historische grens tussen italie en oostenrijk/hongarije van voor WO I. Er is hier minstens zo hard gevochten als aan het westfront. Voor wie in de geschiedenis van Europa geïnteresseerd is (zie plaquette op foto). De laatste 7km zijn dan weer stijgende a 7% gemiddeld. Ook een mooi stuk met haarspelden. Boven op de top is er buiten een naambord weinig te beleven. Iets voor de top is een tankstation waar je een cafè kan scoren en je bidons kan bijvullen. Vervolgens door naar Idro meer of terug naar Gardameer.

Beautiful climb with nice views. Nothing special in terms of gradient, but the scenery makes up for a lot.

Mooie klim met mooie uitzichten. Qua stijgingspercentages niet bijzonder, maar de omgeving maakt veel goed.

I made the crossing from Lake Idro to Lake Garda and back again. A beautiful route with nice views of both lakes. The part in between is reasonably flat with nice bends and indeed along a reservoir with a large dam wall. I cycled this route on a Sunday during the summer holidays when there is a lot of traffic, especially motorbikes enjoying the bends.

Heb de oversteek van het Idromeer naar het Gardameer gemaakt en weer terug. Een mooie route met mooie uitzichten op beide meren. Het gedeelte ertussen is redelijk vlak met leuke bochten en inderdaad langs een stuwmeer met een groot stuwmuur. Deze route gefietst op een zondag tijdens de zomervakantie dan is er wel veel verkeer vooral motoren die genieten van de bochten.

Beautiful climb along beautiful lake. Take enough to drink, because the sun can be mercilessly hot. Also from the other side it is a climb that is worthwhile. From Capovalle there is a nice descent to Idro Lake.

Mooie klim langs schitterend stuwmeer. Neem genoeg te drinken mee, want de zon kan ongenadig warm zijn. Ook van de andere kant is het een klim die zeker de moeite waard is. Vanaf Capovalle nog een mooie afdaling naar het Idromeer.

Nice climb that goes well. Beautiful along reservoir and very little traffic. Do not expect any stops or shops along the way. All the way nature.

Mooie klim die lekker wegtrapt. Prachtig langs stuwmeer En heel weinig verkeer. Verwacht geen stopplekken of winkels onderweg. All the way natuur.
