This climb has been tackled several times by MTB, gravel and running (I do not recommend the latter given the less than perfect asphalt once you take the diversions from the main provincial road to Val Masino). It is a fairly demanding climb in the final stretch but given its brevity, I recommend combining it with something else nearby (Dazio via Cevo or Bagni Masino).

It is a fairly demanding climb in the final stretch but given its brevity, I recommend combining it with something else nearby (Dazio via Cevo or Bagni Masino). I prefer the diversions that does not pass through the village of Biolo but avoids it via Piazzalunga. The only fountain other than the one starting in Ardenno is in Biolo.

Salita affrontata più volte in MTB, gravel e corsa (sconsiglio quest'ultima visto l'asfalto non perfetto una volta presa la deviazione dalla provinciale principale per la val Masino). Si tratta di una salita abbastanza impegnativa nel tratto finale ma visto la sua brevità consiglio di unire con altro nelle vicinanze (Dazio passando per Cevo o Bagni Masino). Io preferisco la deviazione che non passa per il paese di Biolo ma lo evita passando per Piazzalunga. L'unica fontana oltre quella in partenza ad Ardenno si trova a Biolo.
