A nice discontinuous wall of just over 2km that comes off the provincial road of the Alto Vergante and with very demanding climbs leads to Poggio Radioso, a beautiful balcony with a view of the lake. Unfortunately, the ascent is limited to the gate of the Poggio Radioso village/condominium, which prevents one from continuing inside the complex, forcing the cyclist to stop in a section where there is a trattoria/restaurant that in past years I have often found closed. The first section is the one that presents the greatest difficulty. If you get tired in the first deadly wall, even those that follow in the houses of the locality of poggio radioso become insidious because they are nothing more than a sequence of really hard climbs (the first one easily reaches 18%) that can wear out those who are unable to recover in the short stretches, even flat ones. The defect of this climb, like the one that climbs to San Salvatore, is that they are blind and do not allow you to take advantage of any horizontal connections between the various climbs (in parallel there are also those that lead from Fosseno to the upper part of the town) except by dirt roads that can only be used by gravel bikes or mountain bikes.
Bel muro discontinuo di poco più di 2km che si stacca dalla provinciale dell'alto vergante e con strappi molto impegnativi porta a Poggio Radioso, bel balcone con vista lago. Purtroppo l'ascesa è limitata al cancello del villaggio/condominio Poggio Radioso che impedisce di proseguire all'interno del complesso obbligano il ciclista a fermarsi in un tratto ove è presente una trattoria / ristorante che negli anni passati ho trovato spesso chiusa. Il primo tratto è quello che presenta le maggiori difficoltà. Se si va in affanno nel primo micidiale muro, anche quelli successivi nelle case della località poggio radioso diventano insidiosi perché non sono altro che una sequenza di strappi veramente duri (il primo raggiunge tranquillamente il 18%) che possono sfiancare chi non è in grado di recuperare nei brevi tratti anche pianeggianti. Il difetto di questa salita al pari di quella che sale a San Salvatore è che sono a fondo cieco e non permetteno di sfruttare eventuali collegamenti orizzontali tra le varie ascese (in parallelo ci sono anche quelle che da Fosseno portano alla parte alta del paese) se non con strade sterrate praticabili solo con gravel o mtb.
