The variant is taken after 1.6 km from the start of the climb in Menaggio (traffic light junction), at the second hairpin bend on Via Cadorna, turning into Via Nanc. The climb is 3 km at 5％.

Once you reach the top, you can either proceed falsopiano towards Porlezza, or you can choose to do another 3 km uphill at 7％ to Naggio, on a traffic-free road exposed to the sun with beautiful views of Lake Como, and then descend towards Porlezza through the woods. Highly recommended!
la salita è molto trafficata, perciò suggerisco caldamente di percorrere la variante sulla pista ciclabile interamente asfaltata e ben tenuta che percorre il tracciato della vecchia ferrovia Menaggio-Porlezza. La variante si prende dopo 1,6 km dalla partenza della salita a Menaggio (bivio semaforo), in corrispondenza del secondo tornante su via Cadorna, immettendosi si via Nanc. La salita è di 3km al 5％.
Una volta giunti al culmine, si può procedere in falsopiano verso Porlezza, oppure scegliere di fare altri 3 bellissimi km di salita al 7％ fino a Naggio, su strada senza traffico esposta al sole con bellissima vista sul lago di Como, e poi scendere verso Porlezza attraverso i boschi. Consigliatissimo!
Nice climb like you have many around Lake Como; winding through connecting road winding up past houses. We were not much bothered by the traffic, except for the big trucks's that sometimes use the road too. By the way, halfway up the climb you can cycle a short steep shortcut via Via Monte Grappa; nice to tighten the calves!
Mooie klim zoals je die er veel hebt rond het Comomeer; slingerende doorgaande verbindingsweg die langs huizen naar boven kronkelt. Wij hadden niet veel aan van het verkeer, behalve de grote vrachtauto's die de weg soms ook gebruiken. Halverwege de klim kun je overigens via de Via Monte Grappa nog een korte steile afkorting fietsen; lekker on de kuiten even aan te spannen!
The main road from Menaggio to Lugano starts with this climb. The road winds with a very feasible gradient upwards for 3 kilometres, but unfortunately the traffic is particularly heavy. Moreover, Italian drivers want to pass as quickly as possible, with or without a view of oncoming traffic.
De hoofdbaan van Menaggio naar Lugano start met deze klim. De weg kronkelt met een zeer haalbare hellingsgraad naar omhoog gedurende 3 kilometer, maar helaas is het verkeer bijzonder druk. Italiaanse chauffeurs willen bovendien zo snel mogelijk voorbijsteken, al dan niet met zicht op tegenliggers.
