The Colle dell'Orso is not always well marked on local maps and is also referred to as La Montagnola (but then again, you have more of those...). The first part of the climb from Frosolone is nothing special; you can avoid the double gradients indicated here with a short diversions. After you turn left around a bend at some point (on the slightly longer road, points itself out) the gradient decreases, the typical lunar landscape begins and the fantastic climbing wall comes into view. This col is very rewarding as far as I'm concerned, perhaps less challenging in terms of length and percentages than the climbs in nearby Matese but definitely a beautiful stretch.
De Colle dell'Orso staat op lokale kaarten niet altijd goed aangegeven en wordt ook wel aangeduid als La Montagnola (maar ja, daar heb je er ook wel meer van...). Het eerste deel van de klim vanuit Frosolone is niet bijzonder; de hier aangegeven dubbele stijgingspercentages kun je vermijden met een korte omweg. Nadat je op een gegeven moment linksaf een bocht omslaat (op de iets langere weg, wijst zich vanzelf) neemt de hellingshoek af, begint het typische maanlandschap en komt de fantastische klimmuur in zicht. Deze col is wat mij betreft zeer de moeite waard, misschien minder uitdagend qua lengte en percentages dan de klimmen in de nabijgelegen Matese maar absoluut een mooi stuk.
