Salita non dura ma interminabile. I panorami ripagano ampiamente la pazienza e la fatica Molto frequentata nella prima parte poi, dopo il traforo, è un pò più tranquilla Pochissime gallerie e fondo stradale perfetto Possibilità di ristoro al passo e lungo il percorso, diverse fontane per la b... read more

Not a hard climb but interminable. The views more than repay patience and effort
Very busy in the first part then, after the tunnel, it is a little quieter
Very few tunnels and perfect road surface
Possibility of refreshments at the pass and along the route, several fountains for water bottles.
Parked cars at the cable car forecourt to Pila

One of the most beautiful rides this year. Long, requiring patience. It is quite busy until the diversions with the tunnel. From there you turn right, the gradient increases and remains fairly steady between 6/8％. It feels like you have arrived when you see the ANAS house, but there are still 4km and 300m to go from there. Above is beautiful, there are a couple of refreshment points. The lake is very beautiful

Like so many big cols, it is especially very busy with cars and motorbikes. Above the tunnel, it gets a bit quieter and you can enjoy the cycling a bit more. Especially the length is in your legs at the end. At the top, it is a fairground. Typical case of "you want to have cycled it once, but there are much nicer climbs in the neighbourhood".
