Adding another review one year later. This time 5-stars instead of 3!
During the climb, the Monte Rosa was visible almost the entire way and it's really an amazing sight! Highest mountain face in Europe and from when you first see it, it's more than 4,000m altitude difference to the top. Along the way, there are also some narrow stretches with waterfalls and a wild river next to you.
Also, Macugnaga is a charming place with great bars and 'pasticcerie'.
The last review mentioned poorly lit tunnels. By now (May 2023), the tunnels are very wel lit and the tarmac inside is perfect. Also, hardly any traffic on the road at this time of year.
Still, this climb does involve quite a few (often long and steep) sections in tunnels, which some might find unpleasant.
A satisfying climb, never too hard over the entire stretch but persistent, road surface resurfaced over much of the route at the end of July 2022.
The ascent as well as the descent is safe. The tunnels remain poorly lit. Beware of traffic during July and August.
Salita che soddisfa, mai troppo dura su tutta la tratta ma persistente, manto stradale rifatto su gran parte del percorso a fine luglio 2022.
La salita come la discesa è sicura . Le gallerie rimango poco illuminate. Attenzione al traffico nei periodo luglio e agosto.
This climb is easy to do. In the beginning steep and then you descend a bit. The second part is longer but does not exceed 8％. Unfortunately, it is very busy in the summer and the road surface is very bad, especially on the second half. Descending is no fun. Therefore not recommended. If you go up, do not forget to take light for the galleries that are sometimes very dark.
Deze klim is goed te doen. In het begin even steil waarna je een stukje afdaalt. Het tweede deel is langer maar komt niet boven de 8％. Helaas is het erg druk in de zomer en is het wegdek vooral op de tweede helft erg slecht. Afdalen is geen pretje. Daarom geen aanrader. Als je naar boven gaat, vergeet geen licht mee te nemen voor de gallerijen die soms erg donker zijn.
