Rough climb, road and valley, first 4 km with some hard sections but balanced out by flats, the last 7 km are tough.
The asphalt is very degraded, with eight sections where the road has been repaired after landslides, then asphalt that has disappeared.
There are eight drainage grates to watch out for, they cross the road and are made of iron rods into which a 25 tyre comfortably fits.
With a road bike, to be avoided on days when the weather is uncertain, the road sees the constant presence of stones and slab, with water I think it's a mess.
Salita, strada e vallata aspre, primi 4 km con qualche tratto duro ma equilibrato da spianate, gli ultimi 7 km sono tosti.
Asfalto parecchio degradato, con otto settori in cui la strada è stata ripristinata dopo frane, quindi asfalto sparito.
Sono 8 le grate di scolo a cui fare attenzione, attraversano la strada e sono fatte di tondini di ferro in cui entra comodamente una gomma da 25.
Con una bici da strada, da evitare in giornate di tempo incerto, la strada vede la presenza costante di sassi e bracciolino, con l'acqua penso sia una porcheria.
From the start, it goes straight up steeply on not too good road surface. After this first section of hairpins, you cycle through some hamlets with several water fountains and it is less steep for a while. Then you come to the sign that the road is closed but I still encountered several cars and there were also some at the top of the lake. From now on it is back up steeply to the summit. Meanwhile, the road surface deteriorates again and at some drainage grids, even uphill, you have to be careful. Most are no problem with 28mm tyres but there are 3 or 4 that are really dangerous (see photo). If you have ridden this climb uphill then you know not to try to make up time on the descent. Rather brake too much once, I took half an hour on the descent and didn't experience any problems anywhere.
Van bij de start gaat het direct stevig omhoog op niet al te best wegdek. Na deze eerste sectie haarspeldbochten fiets je door enkele gehuchten met verschillende waterfontijnen en is het even minder steil. Daarna kom je aan het bord dat de weg is afgesloten maar ik kwam toch verschillende auto’s tegen en ook boven aan het meer stonden er enkele. Vanaf nu is het terug stevig omhoog tot aan de top. Het wegdek verslecht ondertussen terug en aan sommige afwateringsroosters is het zelf bergop opletten. De meeste zijn met 28mm banden geen probleem maar er zijn er 3 of 4 die echt gevaarlijk zijn (zie foto). Als je deze klim naar boven hebt gereden dan weet je dat je in de afdaling geen tijd moet proberen goed maken. Rem liever eens te veel, ik deed een half uur over de afdaling en ondervond nergens problemen.
I fully concur with febax's previous experience. If you like a tough challenge through a fantastic, desolate landscape, you should definitely do this climb. Unfortunately, the drainage grids are a real danger to me :(
Ik sluit me volledig aan bij de vorige ervaring van febax. Wie houdt van een zware uitdaging door een fantastisch, uitgestorven landschap moet deze klim beslist doen. Helaas zelf aan den lijve ondervonden dat de afwateringsroosters levensgevaarlijk zijn :(
Very nice view at the top. Good road surface (except for the last 300m in cobblestones) but you have to be very careful of the many grates along the road, to be taken crosswise.
Vista molto bella in cima. Manto stradale buono (tranne ultimi 300m in ciottolato) ma bisogna fare molta attenzione alle numerose grate lungo la strada, da prendere trasversalmente.
