Indeed a challenging climb, especially if you come from sea level, like me from Varazze. After Alpicella it is tough with stretches of 12%. Road surface partly good, partly bad but doable with road bike with 25mm tyres. Unfortunately, the inn at the summit is temporarily closed. Descending to the other side (Sassello / Urbe) is no fun. Very bad road surface; a risk for your equipment and for your back.
Inderdaad een uitdagende klim, zeker als je van zeeniveau komt, zoals ik uit Varazze. Na Alpicella is het zwaar met stukken 12%. Wegdek deels goed, deels slecht maar te doen met racefiets met 25mm banden. Helaas is de herberg op de top tijdelijk gesloten. Afdalen naar de ander kant (Sassello / Urbe) is geen pretje. Heel slecht wegdek; een risico voor je materiaal en voor je rug.
Challenging climb, but definitely worth doing! From sea level you reach the 1287 m summit. The last few kilometres have a bumpy road surface, but the passages through the forest and the view of the sea overshadow them. Between spring and early autumn, the refuge is open, where you can stop for a snack and recover your energy.
In winter, it is possible to climb up and find enchanted landscapes with snow just a few steps from the sea.
Salita impegnativa, ma da fare assolutamente! Dal livello del mare si arriva ai 1287 m delle vetta. Gli ultimi km hanno un fondo stradale dissestato, ma i passaggi nel bosco e la vista sul mare li fanno passare in secondo piano. Tra la trada primavera e inizio autunno è aperto il rifugio in cui è possibile fermarsi per fare uno spuntino e recuperare le energie.
In inverno è possibile salire e trovare paesaggi incantati con la neve a pochi passi dal mare.
Winter ascent of Beigua for me in early January on a beautiful sunny day. Questionable asphalt in many places but magnificent passages through the woods of the mountain with even a fawn sighting this time 😊. Arrived at the summit, wonderful views above the clouds!
Ascesa invernale del Beigua per me ai primi di gennaio in una bella giornata di sole. Asfalto questionablile in molti punti ma magnifici passaggi nei boschi del monte con anche avvistamento di cerbiatto stavolta 😊. Arrivato in vetta, stupendo panorama sopra le nuvole!
