Nice climb, a bit more traffic on a wide road in the beginning, but as you get closer to the top it gets quieter. After the villages, the tarmac does get worse. Views are beautiful and it's a nice climb to get into it a bit.

Mooie klim, in het begin wat meer verkeer op een brede weg, maar naarmate je dichter bij de top komt wordt het rustiger. Na de dorpjes wordt het asfalt wel slechter. Uitzicht is prachtig en het is een leuke klim om er een beetje in te komen.

The ascent to the fortress, built between 1908 and 1914 to defend the important Alpine route, starts in Santa Lucia, just outside the town, where you turn right off the main road (SS38 to Sondrio) to climb steeply through the first 3 hairpin bends in quick succession. Followed by a wide road up the valley slope with fantastic panoramic views of Bormio and its four valleys. The climbing route, initially the same as to Le Motte (see climbfinder), then turns left to cycle past the Sanctuario/Bemorial Cemetery through the upper residential area of the village of Oga in a few hairpin bends. After the crossing the road becomes narrower and the asphalt worse and winds up through pine woods to end at the Albergo Al Forte (supply station), right at the entrance to the fortress/museum.

Ideal warming up, with some short 10% stretches along the way, for more solid cycling on the Stelvio and Gavia nearby.

Klim naar het tussen 1908 en 1914 gebouwde fort ter verdediging van belangrijke alpenroute start in Santa Lucia, even buiten de stad, waar je rechts de grote rijksweg (SS38 naar Sondrio) afdraait om direct via de eerste 3 haarspeldbochten kort na elkaar stevig te klimmen. Gevolgd door brede weg tegen de valleiflank omhoog met fantastisch panoramisch uitzicht op Bormio en zijn vier dalen. De klimroute, aanvankelijk dezelfde als naar Le Motte (zie climbfinder), draait dan linksaf om voorbij het Sanctuario/Begraafplaats via enkele haarspeldbochten het hoger gelegen woongedeelte van het dorpje Oga door te fietsen. Na de doortocht wordt de weg smaller en het asfalt slechter en slingert zich door dennenbossen naar omhoog om te eindigen aan de Albergo Al Forte (bevoorrading),vlak aan de toegang van het fort/museum.

Ideale opwarming, met onderweg enkele korte 10% stroken, voor steviger fietswerk op de Stelvio en Gavia daar in de buurt.
