Without doubt the toughest of the four options where you can tame this hill. Very steep middle section up to the little church. Then nice stretch over the ridge with views of the slightly lower village.... read more

Without doubt the toughest of the four options where you can tame this hill. Very steep middle section up to the little church. Then nice stretch over the ridge with views of the slightly lower village.

Zonder twijfel de zwaarste van de vier mogelijkheden waarbij je deze heuvel kan temmen. Zeer stijl middenstuk tot aan het kerkje. Daarna mooi stuk over de bergkam met uitzicht op het iets lager gelegen dorpje.

The climb starts out friendly, but soon turns to gradients in the double digits, with hefty sections of 13％ or more. The tarmac is reasonable and the forest offers partial shelter from the sun. The climb seems to end at the little church in Piatta Soprana, but continues into the almost deserted hamlet of Colleto.
The descent towards Montemale is on fairly good tarmac.

De klim begint vriendelijk, maar gaat al gauw over naar stijgingspercentages in de dubbele cijfers, met flinke stukken van 13％ of meer. Het asfalt is redelijk en het bos biedt gedeeltelijk beschutting tegen de zon. De klim lijkt te eindigen bij het kerkje in Piatta Soprana, maar loopt door tot in het vrijwel verlaten gehuchtje Colleto.
De afdaling richting Montemale gaat over tamelijk goed asfalt.
