A pretty popular training climb. the first part is quite gentle, but after Sauze di Cesana you get steeper gradients, prettey constant at 8％. You have nice views after the hairpin turn and even a tunnel. The road condition is overall pretty good.... read more

The start runs through a peaceful green valley with no significant traffic. From before the first switchback, the slopes follow with constant challenge of 8 to 11％. In the afternoon, almost the entire climb is in the sun, a challenge in itself. The views and effort are well worth the effort

De start loopt door een vredige groene vallei zonder noemenswaardig verkeer. Van vóór de eerste switchback volgen de hellingen met constante uitdaging van 8 tot 11％. In de middag ligt nagenoeg de hele klim in de zon, een uitdaging op zich. De uitzichten en inspanning zijn de moeite meer dan waard

Until Sauze Di Cesana it is easy, then from there it settles between 8 and 10％ of slope and does not let up until the pass. The panorama is beautiful, it is not too busy

Fino a Sauze Di Cesana è facile, poi da lì si assesta fra 8 e 10％ di pendenza e non molla fino al colle. Il panorama è bellino, non è troppo trafficato
