A surprisingly beautiful climb in the middle of greenery, completely in the shade and therefore excellent, especially in summer. I did it last Sunday and although I had little training, I did not find it as difficult as I thought. The hardest section comes before the actual climb: it is the wide road that leads to the temple of Canova. Then, unless you take a few hairpin bends on the inside, the maximum gradients will be around 15-16%: but the climb overall is short and the hairpin bends give you breathing space. There is no traffic. Watch out for cobblestones in the hairpin bends and also very dirty roads, which are the reasons why I would avoid it.
Bella salita sorpendentemente poco conosciuta e in mezzo al verde, completamente all'ombra e quindi ottima soprattutto d'estate. L'ho fatta domenica scorsa e pur con poco allenamento non l'ho trovata difficile come pensavo. Il tratto più duro viene prima della salita vera e propria: è l'ampio stradone che porta al tempio del Canova. Poi, a meno che non prendiate alcuni tornanti internamente, le pendenze massime saranno c.ca 15-16%: ma la salita complessivamente è breve e i tornanti fanno respirare. Non c'è traffico. Occhio al pavè scassato nei tornanti e anche alle strade molto sporche, che sono le ragioni per cui la eviterei.
