One of my favourite climbs in the Valgrande nature park. First part on a wide, easily pedalled road, almost false-flat. The last 3 km, on the other hand, are hard and tough on a narrow, winding road that makes it a lot of fun. Exciting passage through the tunnel without lighting

Una delle mie salite preferite all'interno del parco naturale della Valgrande. Prima parte su strada larga e facilmente pedalabile, quasi falsopiano. Ultimi 3 km invece duri e tosti su strada stretta e tortuosa che la rendono assai divertente. Emozionate il passaggio nella galleria senza illuminazione

Nice climb! Venom is in the tail and then it is definitely tough. Been back and forth by car too and so narrow you'd rather not encounter oncoming traffic. On that narrow road surface, climbing on a bike is wonderful. Lamp for the tunnel is definitely recommended!

Leuke klim! Venijn zit in de staart en dan is het zeker aanpoten. Met de auto ook heen en weer geweest en zo smal dat je liever geen tegenliggers tegen komt. Op dat smalle wegdek is het op de fiets prachtig klimmen. Lamp voor de tunnel is zeker een aanrader!

Truly a magnificent climb, with 2 sections. The first 8 km is undulating. Soon, you already encounter no traffic and wonder when those altimeters will come. Put yourself in saving mode for a while, because the last 4km they come. On average about 10% on that stretch, but there are ups and downs. Tip: even though the tunnel is so short, a light is no superfluous luxury

Echt een schitterende klim, met 2 delen. De eerste 8 km is glooiend. Snel kom je al geen verkeer meer tegen en vraag je je af wanneer die hoogtemeters nou komen. Zet jezelf nog even in spaarstand, want de laatste 4km komen ze. Gemiddeld ongeveer 10% op dat stuk, maar uitschieters naar boven. Tip: al is de tunnel nog zo kort, een lampje is geen overbodig luxe

A hidden gem towards the small mountain village of Cicogna. Lots of nice running roads until the descent (watch out, section goes through a small tunnel without lights!). After that, you don't really know what happens to you: you literally ride against a wall where, according to the Garmin, it is constantly 10%+ (and even parts 16%). I really underestimated this steep section and, moreover, thought it would be much shorter. We got to the top, but it wasn't easy.
The section at the top is then good braking due to the steep descent and hairpin turns. Later, you can release the brakes most of the time and go down hard on the nice running roads.

Een verborgen pareltje richting het kleine bergdorpje Cicogna. Veel mooie lopende wegen t/m de afdaling (let op, afdeling gaat door een tunneltje zonder licht!). Daarna weet je eigenlijk niet wat je overkomt: je rijdt letterlijk tegen een muur aan waar het volgens de Garmin continu 10%+ is (en zelfs stukken 16%). Ik heb dit steile stuk echt onderschat en dacht bovendien dat het veel korter zou zijn. We zijn boven gekomen, maar het viel me niet mee.
De afdeling is bovenin vervolgens goed remmen door de steile daling en haarspeldbochten. Later kun je de remmetjes veelal loslaten en hard naar beneden over de mooie lopende wegen.

Leuke klim om te doen als je in de buurt bent!
Qua omgeving is het mooi, echter is hier niet veel zicht op.
Begint mooi rustig, vanaf zo'n 3,5 km van het einde wordt het wel behoorlijk steil! Goed om het zweet aan het eind nog even goed los te krijgen!
Er zit ook nog een tunnel in die vrij donker is, verlichting was op zich handig geweest mocht er toch een auto rijden.

This is really a hidden gem in beautiful surroundings up to Cicogna. The last 3KM are tough and between 10-12% I estimate. Very narrow, many hairpin bends and therefore slowly downhill again, as there is no other way back.

Dit is echt een verborgen pareltje in een prachtige omgeving omhoog naar Cicogna. De laatste 3KM zijn pittig en tussen de 10-12% schat ik zo in. Zeer smal, veel haarspeldbochten en daarom langzaam weer terug naar beneden, want er is geen andere weg terug.
