Quite an ignorant climb with gradients always sustained with few moments of respite, all compensated by little traffic, perfect asphalt (apart from 500 m after the church which are being resurfaced). Lovely view of Tirano once at the top with a fountain to refresh yourself. To be combined with Viano for the more daring!... read more

Salita abbastanza ignorante con pendenze sempre sostenute con pochi attimi di respiro, il tutto compensato da poco traffico, asfalto perfetto (a parte 500 m dopo la chiesa che stanno riasfaltando). Bella vista su Tirano una volta in cima con tanto di fontana per rinfrescarsi. Da abbinare a Viano per i più temerari!
