Be sure to stop in Mogno for the beautiful little church by architetto Mario Botta!
zéker even halthouden in Mogno voor het schitterende kerkje van de hand van architetto Mario Botta !
Wonderful climb, the kind you won't forget
Very demanding especially from the end of Lake Sambuco, from here you won't breathe until the finish
Unique views with beautiful lakes and few people.
No possibility of refreshments on arrival (only small bar at Lake Sambuco). No fountains from here either
Start from Locarno. I found the Valle Maggia a bit boring in the first part. Next time I would bring the car closer to Cevio.
Salita stupenda, di quelle che non si dimenticano
Molto impegnativa soprattutto dalla fine del Lago Sambuco, da qui non respirerete sino all'arrivo
Panorami unici con laghi stupendi e poca frequentazione.
No possibilità di ristoro all'arrivo (solo piccolo bar al lago Sambuco). Da qui non ci sono nemmeno più fontane
Partito da Locarno. La Valle Maggia, nella prima parte, l'ho trovata un po noiosa. La prossima volta porterei l'auto più vicina a Cevio.
You will rarely find them more beautiful!
In the first part, you cycle from village to village and are impressed by the violence that rises around you.
After Peccia, the hairpin bends appear at a rapid pace and seem to be one above the other.
Up to the first dam, the road surface is still perfect; then we switch to the real Italian roads.
Behind the dam, the misery really begins; the first stretch of 12％ seems endless and cycling in the shade is not an option.
The 6％ part is ideal to recover and to get ready for the magnificent final part of the climb.
The steepness is disguised by the views you have here. When you reach the lakes, you know that the end is near, but it doesn't get any less difficult.
At the top, you can cycle over both dams and take the most beautiful photos, the views are magnificent.
If you are in the neighbourhood, you should definitely do it, I was one and a half hours away, but I never regretted it for a moment.
Mooier vind je ze zelden!
In het eerste gedeelte fiets je van dorpje naar dorpje en ben je onder de indruk van het geweld dat om je heen omhoog steekt.
Na Peccia dienen zich de haarspeldbochten in een rap tempo aan en lijken ze boven elkaar te liggen.
Tot aan de eerste stuwdam is het wegdek nog perfect, daarna schakelen we over op onvervalste Italiaanse weggetjes (ondanks dat we in Zwitserland fietsen, maar alles ademt Italië in dat gedeelte).
Achter het stuwmeer begint de ellende pas echt, de eerste strook van 12％ lijkt eindeloos en even lekker in de schaduw fietsen zit er niet in.
Het stukje van 6％ is ideaal om even te herstellen en je op te maken voor het schitterende sluitstuk van deze klim.
De steilte wordt verbloemd door de uitzichten die je hier hebt. Als je de meertjes bereikt dan weet je dat het einde nadert, maar het wordt echt geen moment minder zwaar.
Bovenop kun je over allebei de stuwdammen fietsen en de mooiste foto's maken, de uitzichten zijn magnefiek.
Zou je in de buurt zijn, dan moet je deze zeker doen, ik lag er anderhalf uur rijden vanaf, maar heb er geen moment spijt van gehad.
A beautiful blind ascent, with a breathtaking panorama at the top, at an altitude of 2,300 metres, which will repay the great effort, especially in the last kilometres before reaching the Naret dam.
A highly recommended outing, also to enjoy the beautiful Maggia Valley, with a spectacular river and very little traffic. Be careful on the descent, as the asphalt is not exactly perfect at the top.
Bellissima salita cieca, con panorama mozzafiato in cima, a quota 2.300 mt, che ripagherà della gran fatica, soprattutto negli ultimi kilometri prima di arrivare alla diga del Naret.
Giro consigliatissimo, anche per godersi la stupenda Valle Maggia, con un fiume spettacolare e pochissimo traffico. Attenzione in discesa, asfalto non proprio perfetto in alto.
A climb that has everything: a challenging character (the final kilometres are really brutal) and a magisterial environment with nothing but beauty. Moreover, you will be rewarded at the top with a panorama you will never forget. This is a must, no doubt about it!
Een klim die werkelijk alles heeft: uitdagend van karakter (de slotkilometers zijn echt bruut) en een magistrale omgeving met alleen maar fraais. Bovendien word je boven beloond met een panorama om nooit meer te vergeten. Dit is een must, geen twijfel mogelijk!
Nice climb, which I did from Ponte Brolla (near Lago Maggiore), adding an extra 25 km of climbing from about 260 metres altitude. The road surface is variable, sometimes good and new tarmac but the toughest kilometres from Lago del Sambuco the tarmac is poor. As it is a dead-end road that ends at a reservoir, it is a quiet road though. Beautiful scenery on the way from Valle Maggia, in Italian-speaking Switzerland.
Mooie klim, die ik vanuit Ponte Brolla gedaan heb (vlakbij Lago Maggiore), wat nog eens 25 km extra klim toevoegt vanaf ongeveer 260 meter hoogte. Het wegdek is wisselend, soms goed en nieuw asfalt maar de zwaarste kilometers vanaf Lago del Sambuco is het asfalt slecht. Omdat het een doodlopende weg is die uitkomt bij een stuwmeer is het wel een rustige weg. Prachtige natuur onderweg van de Valle Maggia, in Italiaans-talig Zwitserland.
