The climb starts near Avasinis, a pleasant village where the Raspberry and Blueberry Festival is held in mid-August: a recommended destination at the end of a cycling tour, to refresh yourself with raspberry-flavoured beer, ice cream and Friulian specialities.
The climb is very hard, harder than the average gradient says (which is distorted by the almost flat last section). It is actually just over 7 km at 10%, but even this figure is misleading: after the first 2 km with gradients of around 11-12%, there is in fact a very short easier section; from there on, the gradients are extremely uneven, and easier sections (even a short counter-slope 1500 m from the summit) are followed by very hard ramps, with gradients reaching 20%. The entire route is in the forest, on a narrow road that is not always in very good condition (but still easily doable by road bike): traffic is generally limited, but it is best to be careful.
At the top there is a short descent, then another short easy climb to Monte Prat. From there you descend towards the Tagliamento, on a beautiful, wide road.
Salita che parte dai pressi di Avasinis, simpatico borgo dove a Ferragosto si tiene la Sagra del lampone e del mirtillo: meta consigliata in chiusura di un giro ciclistico, per rifocillarsi con birra all'aroma di lampone, gelati e specialità friulane.
La salita è molto dura, più dura di quanto non dica la pendenza media (che è falsata dall'ultimo tratto pressoché pianeggiante). Si tratta in realtà di poco più di 7 km al 10%, ma anche questo dato è ingannevole: dopo i primi 2 km con pendenze intorno all'11-12%, infatti, c'è un brevissimo tratto più facile; da lì in poi, le pendenze sono estremamente irregolari, e a tratti più facili (addirittura una breve contropendenza a 1500 m dallo scollinamento) seguono rampe durissime, con pendenze che arrivano al 20%. Tutto il percorso è nel bosco, su strada stretta e non sempre in ottime condizioni (ma comunque fattibile tranquillamente in bici da corsa): il traffico in generale è limitato, ma meglio fare attenzione.
Arrivati in cima c'è una breve discesa, poi un nuovo breve tratto di facile salita per arrivare a Monte Prat. Da lì si scende verso il Tagliamento, su strada bella e ampia.
