An ordeal of only 1.4 km at the average 19％ with asphalt in very poor condition and a final wall at 25％ for over 150m... and first wide stretches at 22-23％ with a very short section under 10％ at Monteggia. Try it to believe! A climb for psychopaths... I leave the choice of bike and gearing to the sensibilities of those who intend to try it, bearing in mind that it can be done by road bike for those with the necessary watts! The road is substantially closed to traffic in the first section... read more

An ordeal of only 1.4 km at the average 19％ with asphalt in very poor condition and a final wall at 25％ for over 150m... and first wide stretches at 22-23％ with a very short section under 10％ at Monteggia.

I leave the choice of bike and gearing to the sensibilities of those who intend to try it, bearing in mind that it can be done by road bike for those with the necessary watts! The road is substantially closed to traffic in the first section but not in the second until the barrier where the mule track for casere di vararo begins. Have fun

Un calvario di soli 1,4 km al 19％ medio con asfalto in pessime condizioni e muro finale al 25％ per oltre 150m... e prima ampi tratti al 22-23％ con un brevissimo tratto sotto il 10％ a Monteggia. Provare per credere! Una salita per psicopatici... lascio alla sensibilità di chi ha intenzione di cimentarsi la scelta del mezzo e la rapportatura, tenendo conto che è percorribile in bici da corsa per coloro che hanno i watt necessari! La strada è sostanzialmente chiusa al traffico nel primo tratto ma non nel secondo fino alla sbarra ove inizia la mulattiera per casere di vararo. Buon divertimento
