Exceptional climb, very demanding but very satisfying. Up to Duno it is rideable, with average gradients of around 5-6％. There are numerous fountains in the town, but unfortunately at the time I tackled it they were all closed (mid-October), so be careful to arrive prepared. The second part of the climb is tough and does not spare your legs, plus the road surface is very dirty and uneven. When you reach the San Martino car park, the sight of the finish sign is refreshing, but the last two ramp... read more

Exceptional climb, very demanding but very satisfying. Up to Duno it is rideable, with average gradients of around 5-6％. There are numerous fountains in the town, but unfortunately at the time I tackled it they were all closed (mid-October), so be careful to arrive prepared. The second part of the climb is tough and does not spare your legs, plus the road surface is very dirty and uneven. When you reach the San Martino car park, the sight of the finish sign is refreshing, but the last two ramps to reach the belvedere are deadly, with gradients of 15％. The view from the belvedere is very beautiful. Beware of the descent, which is very technical, on uneven ground, dirty and strewn with stones, so pull on the brakes! From Duno onwards, traffic is non-existent. A climb not to be missed!

Salita eccezionale, molto impegnativa ma che regala grandi soddisfazioni. Fino a Duno è pedalabile, con pendenze medie intorno al 5-6％. Nell’abitato sono presenti numerose fontane, ma purtroppo nel periodo in cui l’ho affrontata erano tutte chiuse (metà ottobre), quindi attenzione ad arrivare preparati. La seconda parte della salita è dura e non risparmia le gambe, inoltre il fondo stradale è molto sporco e dissestato. Quando si arriva al parcheggio di San Martino, la visione del cartello dell’arrivo è rinfrancante, ma le ultime due rampe per raggiungere il belvedere sono mortifere, con pendenze al 15％. La vista dal belvedere è molto bella. Attenzione alla discesa, molto tecnica, su fondo sconnesso, sporco e disseminato di sassi, quindi freni tirati! Da Duno in poi traffico inesistente. Salita da non perdere!!

It is a tough climb, the middle three kilometres are deadly in my opinion. The woods, the shade, the absence of cars and the final view of the Val Cuvia repay the effort. After Duno, the road is very narrow and the surface is in poor condition.

È una salita dura, i tre chilometri centrali sono a mio avviso mortiferi. I boschi, l'ombreggiamento, l'assenza di auto e il panorama finale sulla val cuvia ripagano dello sforzo. Le criticità dopo Duno strada molto stretta e manto in cattive condizioni.

Very beautiful climb that ends at the church of San Martino. The road is almost car-free. Beware that, after days of rain, it can be dirty and full of debris. You descend from where you ascend.

Salita molto bella che termina alla chiesa di San Martino. La strada è quasi libera da auto. Attenzione che, dopo giornate di pioggia, può risultare sporca e piena di detriti. Si scende da dove si sale.

Beautiful and tough climb. From Cuveglio to Duno, a constant gradient that is never prohibitive. Immediately after Duno, 3 km begin with a constant gradient above 10％. Three kilometres from the summit 800 metres in which you catch your breath, after which the gradients return at around 9％. After the last hairpin bend, 600 deadly metres begin, the last 50 metres of which are over 20％. A very beautiful route through coniferous forests, but the road is very narrow and uneven.

Salita bella e dura. Si parte da Cuveglio fino a Duno pendenza costante mai proibitiva. Subito dopo Duno iniziano 3 km con pendenza costante sopra il 10％. A tre chilometri dalla vetta 800 metri in cui si prende fiato dopodiché ritornano pendenze intorno al 9％. Dopo l'ultimo tornante iniziano 600 metri mortiferi di cui gli ultimi 50 metri a più del 20％. Percorso comunque molto bello in mezzo a boschi di conifere strada però molto stretta e dissestate.

Very beautiful and demanding climb. Also doable in high summer, as it is sheltered almost entirely by dense forest. Numerous drinking fountains along the way. Some closed but some usable. Out of 6/7 times completed, 3 punctures. Very discouraging. Numerous pebbles and small stones difficult to avoid and see that play tricks on you. Too bad because the climb and the view are worth it

Salita molto bella ed impegnativa. Fattibile anche in piena estate essendo riparata quasi nella totalità dal fitto bosco. Numerose fontanelle lungo il tragitto. Alcune chiuse ma alcune utilizzabili. Su 6/7 volte effettuata , 3 forature. Davvero scoraggiante. Numerosi ciottoli e pietre piccole difficili da evitare e vedere che fanno brutti scherzi. Peccato perché la salita e la vista merita
