Not too demanding. Low gradients most of the time. It ramps up in the last 2km and hits about 9-10% average but other than that a pretty easy climb. If you should ride either of the sides I would recommend the climb from the Bellagio side.

Long climb, never too demanding, also suitable for those with little training in their legs. Beware of traffic, very heavy at times.

Salita lunga, mai troppo impegnativa, adatta anche a chi ha poco allenamento nelle gambe. Attenzione al traffico, davvero intenso a volte.

To be done once a year to take a 'blessing'.
Easy ascent that can be made a little more challenging by taking the diversions to the centre of Barni (three hairpin bends and a demanding climb).
Beautiful view of Lake Como.
Many refreshment possibilities along the route.
Water available at the spring in Barni (shortly after the diversions to the left).

Da fare una volta all'anno per prendersi una "Benedizione".
Salita facile che può essere resa un po più impegnativa prendendo la deviazione per il centro di Barni (tre tornanti e strappetto impegnativo).
Bella vista sul Lago di Como.
Molte possibilità di ristoro lungo il percorso.
Acqua disponibile alla sorgente di Barni (poco dopo la deviazione a sinistra).

It's not a climb, it's a pilgrimage. The Sanctuary of Madonna del Ghisallo is the Sanctuary of cyclists. Inside there are the jerseys of the greatest cyclists in history. For a cyclist going there is a duty.

Non è una salita, è un pellegrinaggio. Il Santuario della Madonna del Ghisallo è il Santuario dei ciclisti. Al suo interno ci sono le maglie dei più grandi ciclisti della storia. Per un ciclista andarci è un dovere.
