Wonderful climb for me a surprise in the part after the passo croce domini. from breno you always climb with significant gradients the average is lowered by the last 2 km on falsopiano, otherwise it would be I think above 8％. Personally, as far as scenery is concerned, I prefer the ascent from bagolino, which offers wonderful views in the second part with gaver and the subsequent hairpin bends. from the croce domini pass, the dirt road begins towards the ex nato base and the giogo della bala. Irregular climb with flat stretches and a small descent interspersed with walls with gradients even in double figures. The landscape is wonderful...I would say almost lunar, it seems to be over 3000 metres not 2000 metres...the beauty of this stretch is a real surprise...At the top of the yoke there is the Dosso dei Galli with the gigantic radars of the former NATO base. The road to the base seems to me to be in excellent condition and I believe it is possible to climb up even if it is obstructed by some cement blocks at the entrance.
salita meravigliosa per me una sorpresa nella parte dopo il passo croce domini. da breno si sale sempre con pendenze importanti la media è abbassata dagli ultimi 2 km in falsopiano, altrimenti sarebbe credo sopra l'8％. personalmente come paesaggio preferisco l'ascesa da bagolino che regala scorci meravigliosi nella seconda parte con il gaver e i tornanti successivi. dal passo croce domini inizia lo sterrato versa l'ex base nato e il giogo della bala. pensavo fosse breve ma in realtà fino al giogo è quasi tutto sterrato. salita irregolare con tratti in piano e piccola discesa intervallati da muri con pendenze anche in doppia cifra. il paesaggio è meraviglioso...direi quasi lunare sembra di essere oltre i 3000 non a 2000 mt...una vera sorpresa la bellezza di questo tratto...lo sterrato è ampiamente fattibile in bdc ma è comunque irregolare prob rovinato da piogge e neve abbondanti di quest'anno. in cima al giogo il dosso dei galli con i giganteschi radar dell'ex base nato. la strada per la base mi sembra in ottime condizioni e credo si possa salire anche se in entrara è ostruita da alcuni blocchi di cemento. salita da fare assolutamente.
Beautiful climb, very quiet (at least when I was there). Actually consists of two climbs. The first one is paved until the Passo di Croce Domini. At the pass height you can eat, drink and rest. Then it goes on for about 6 kilometers unpaved. Last kilometer of the second climb is paved. If you continue, you also pass an abandoned radar station from the cold war. Quite a James Bond location content!
Prachtige klim, erg rustig (althans toen ik er was). Bestaat eigenlijk uit twee klimmen. De eerste is geasfalteerd tot de Passo di Croce Domini. Op de pashoogte kan je eten, drinken en uitrusten. Vervolgens gaat het zo'n 6 kilometer onverhard verder. Laatste kilometer van de tweede klim is wel geasfalteerd. Als je verder rijdt, kom je ook nog langs een verlaten radarstation uit de koude oorlog. Flinke James Bond-locatie gehalte!
