Ascent from the South Tyrolean side of the pass
Not very difficult, fairly heavy traffic even during the week, decent panorama even if you often stay under cover
Salita dal versante Altoatesino del passo
Non molto difficile, traffico abbastanza pesante anche durante la settimana, panorama discreto anche se spesso si resta al coperto
Ascent on a beautiful road surface through the Val Passiria. I didn't find it very pleasant, however: the gradient is never excessive but as there is not a metre of level ground the fatigue is uninterrupted, moreover there are few bends and even fewer hairpin bends, so you suffer a little from monotony.
The best views are before 1,000 metres, in particular Gfrill (Caprile) is an enchanting place. From there to the pass, you travel through the forest and, although wonderful, the climb becomes a little repetitive. At the pass there is little to see, so a good climb for the body but not the most exciting adventure you can have on the South Tyrolean roads.
Salita su bellissimo fondo stradale tra risale la Val Passiria. Non l'ho trovata molto piacevole però: la pendenza non è mai eccessiva ma non essendoci un metro di piano la fatica è ininterrotta, inoltre ci sono poche curve e ancor meno tornanti, per cui si soffre un po' di monotonia.
I migliori panorami sono prima dei 1000 mt di quota, in particolare Gfrill (Caprile) è un luogo incantevole. Da lì al Passo si viaggia nel bosco e per quanto meraviglioso la salita diventa un po' ripetitiva. Al Passo poco da vedere, per cui una buona salita per il corpo ma non l'avventura più appassionante che si possa fare sulle strade Alto Atesine.
Nice climb if you come from Merano and Lana. Not too difficult, no really steep sections (12+deg).
