Super!!! A great classic. Absolutely must do if in the area. It starts at the sea and climbs to over 1000m. First super panoramic hairpin bends, a postcard on the gulf. Then you enter the clearing. There is traffic, especially of pick-up trucks accompanying the MBs. Recommended descent towards Calizzano, perhaps as far as Bardineto.... read more

Super!!! Un grande classico. Da fare assolutamente se nella zona. Si parte dal mare e si arriva sopra ai 1000m. Primi tornanti super panoramici, una cartolina sul golfo. Poi ci si addentra nella radura. C'è traffico soprattutto dei camioncini che accompagnano le MB. Consigliata la discesa verso Calizzano magari fino a Bardineto

Beautiful climb and, if tackled in mid-season, with little traffic, asphalt on the whole, excellent and beautiful views from the sea to the pre-Alpine area.

Bellissima salita e, se affrontata nelle mezze stagioni, con poco traffico, asfalto nel complesso, ottimo e bei panorami che permettono di godere la vista dal mare fino alla zona prealpina.

First section up to Verezzi demanding but with exceptional views. Traffic on weekends and exposed to the sun practically all day. Excellent asphalt. After Gorra shady main road, easier climb and generally less traffic

Primo tratto fino a Verezzi impegnativo ma con panorami eccezionali. Traffico nei fine settimana ed esposta al sole praticamente tutto il giorno. Asfalto ottimo. Dopo Gorra strada statale ombreggiata, salita più semplice e generalmente meno traffico

The climb to Verezzi is short but very beautiful and scenic. In the morning it is more enjoyable, in the afternoon it can get very hot in fine weather.
From Gorra to the Din junction it climbs steadily and somewhat monotonously, with interesting views here and there but a lot of traffic at weekends.

La salita a Verezzi è breve ma molto bella e panoramica. Al mattino più godibile, al pomeriggio nella bella stagione può fare molto caldo.
Da Gorra al bivio del Din sale costante e un po' monotona, con panorami interessanti qua e là ma parecchio traffico nel fine settimana.

The first part is very scenic, while the second climbs steadily to 7 and 8％. Arrival at the Melogno Pass through an old fort. Very busy main road at the weekend.

Molto panoramica la prima parte, mentre la seconda sale costante al 7 e 8％. Arrivo al Colle del Melogno attraverso un antico forte. Strada statale molto trafficata nel weekend.
