Beautiful, but quite spicy. To start the descent, you first have to climb steeply up to the jerk. Then descend to the lake with beautiful views. There is not much else in the village below. Back climbing with regular bits above 10%.

Prachtig, maar best pittig. Om aan de afdaling te beginnen moet je eerst nog stevig klimmetje maken tot het jerkje. Daarna afdalen naar het meer met prachtige uitzichten. In het dorpje beneden is verder niet veel. Terug klimmen met regelmatig stukjes boven 10%.

From the little church we descend to Caprino the road is in good condition and the traffic is 0. The beautiful part is the ascent with breathtaking scenery and views of Lake Lugano. Caprino is exactly opposite Lugano. The road is closed so if you go down the climb is obligatory.

Dalla chiesetta si scende fino a Caprino la strada è in buono stato e il traffico è pari a 0. La parte bella e la salita con un paesaggio mozzafiato e scorci del Lago di Lugano. Caprino è esattamente di fronte a Lugano. La strada e chiusa quindi se scendete la salita è obbligatoria.
