There was a major forest fire here in 2017, which caused most of the trees to be gone. This makes it a very open climb with phenomenal views. The downside is that it can get very hot. The asphalt is at times really bad and a little further on perfect again. The last 5 km are gravel, the first 2 km are very good, then it becomes more loose with potholes. Like the finestre. This is especially annoying riding downhill. I also hardly encountered any traffic. But this could be because the road was closed to cars's to do the hike to the Rocciamelone (3500m).

In 2017 is hier een grote bosbrand geweest, hierdoor zijn de meeste bomen weg. Hierdoor is het een hele open klim met fenomenale uitzichten. Nadeel is dat het heel warm kan worden. Het asfalt is met momenten echt slecht en iets verder weer perfect. De laatste 5 km zijn gravel, de eerste 2 km zijn zeer goed, daarna wordt het meer losser met gaten. Zoals de finestre. Dit is vooral vervelend met het naar beneden rijden. Ik ben ook amper verkeer tegengekomen. Maar dit kan zijn omdat de weg voor de auto's gesloten was om de wandeling naar de Rocciamelone (3500m) te doen.

Climb to be done early in the morning as it is all in the sun. It starts well, decent asphalt until after Mompantero. After that it starts with hairpin bends and breaks between hairpin bends, on old and potholed asphalt. Last 5 km of pure gravel, but very well maintained. The weekend is full of cars

Salita da fare la mattina presto in quanto è tutta al sole. Parte bene, asfalto decente fin dopo Mompantero. Dopo inizia con strappi e pause fra i vari tornanti, su asfalto vecchio e bucato. Ultimi 5 km di sterrato puro, però molto ben tenuto. Il weekend è pieno di macchine
