This is a great climb. You first ride moderately and steadily on a winding road through a typical Tuscan forest. At the end it gets steep and you have a typical gravel road. After the castle, you can continue your way along a typical strade. The views are phenomenal. A tip: especially in summer, do this climb shortly after sunrise between 5 and 6h30 before it gets hot. There is zero traffic at this hour and you will see wild boar and deer that disappear later in the day to avoid the traffic and ... read more

Dit is een geweldige klim. Je rijdt eerst gematigd en gestaag op een slingerende weg door een typisch Toscaans bos. Op het einde wordt het steil en heb je een typische gravelstrook. Na het kasteel kan je je weg verder zetten over een typische strade. Het uitzicht is fenomenaal. Een tip: zeker in de zomer, doe deze klim kort na zonsopgang tussen 5 en 6h30 voor het heet is. Er is nul verkeer op dit uur en je ziet everzwijnen en herten die later op de dag verdwijnen om het verkeer en de hitte te ontlopen.

A chill, steady climb on good and rather quiet road that only gets steeper for the last kilometre. The road for the last kilometre is also much narrower and partly on gravel. The views from the Castello over the countryside are absolutely superb.
