Anyone who has fought their way through the city traffic of Trapani and then drives towards Valderice on the SS187 will be glad to be able to take the turn-off to Erice. The climb is the hardest of all three ways up the mountain. The condition of the road takes some getting used to, but it is still easy to ride.

Wer sich durch den Stadtverkehr von Trapani gekämpft hat, und dann in Richtung Valderice auf der SS187 fährt, ist froh den Abzweig nach Erice nehmen zu können. Der Anstieg ist der schwerste aller drei Möglichkeiten auf den Berg zu kommen. Der Straßenzustand ist eher gewöhnungsbedürftig, trotzdem gut fahrbar. Für's Auge ist durchgehend etwas geboten.
