A regular ascent without major jolts, allowing you to acquire your own rhythm and a steady pace. The views are breathtaking of Lake Como, which appears from above like a fjord. There is only a fountain at the start of the climb while at the top there is a trattoria.

Salita regolare senza grandi strappi, consente di acquisire il proprio ritmo e un’andatura costante. I panorami sono mozzafiato sul lago di Como che appare dall’alto come un fiordo. C’è solo una fontana all’inizio della salita mentre in cima vi è una trattoria.

The road, especially after a third of the climb, is not the best; as the cyclists say: it takes longer to go down than up. You will also find two or three cobbled hairpin bends... and even some llamas (called Andean animals). Magnificent views of the lake on the way up and then from the top if you find a nice day you will have a magnificent view. PS: excellent refuge restaurant at the top... delicious nut cake. Beware of closing days... of the restaurant!

La strada, specialmente dopo un terzo di salita non è il massimo; come dicono i ciclisti: ci si mette più tempo a scendere che a salire. Troverete anche due o tre tornanti in ciottolato... e anche qualche lama (detto animale andino). Panorama magnifico del lago salendo e poi dalla cima se trovate una bella giornata avrete una vista magnifica. PS: ottimo ristorante del rifugio in cima... buonissima torta alle noci. Attenzione ai giorni di chiusura... del ristorante!

The climb is steady and I would say quite demanding, there isn't much traffic but unfortunately the state of the road surface is disastrous (March 2024) so great care must be taken especially on the descent. There are also two hairpin bends with a sort of cobblestones that must be tackled with extreme caution.

La salita è costante e direi abbastanza impegnativa, non c'è molto traffico ma purtroppo la situazione del manto stradale è disastrosa ( marzo 2024) quindi massima attenzione specialmente in discesa. Ci sono anche due tornanti con una sorta di pavè da affrontare con estrema cautela.

A very challenging climb due to its length, but the gradients are not prohibitive. Wonderful views, especially in the first and last kilometres, which are the most beautiful.
Its only (very serious) flaw is the road surface, which is in very poor condition for almost the entire climb (from the fifth to the fifteenth km), in fact on the descent it is really dangerous with a road bike.
Not much traffic on the climb, but you may have to stop or slow down to let cars pass.

Salita molto sfidante per la sua lunghezza, però le pendenze non sono proibitive. Panorama stupendo, soprattutto nei primi e negli ultimi km, che sono quelli più belli.
La sua unica (gravissima) pecca è il manto stradale, che è in condizioni a dir poco pessime per quasi tutta la salita (dal quinto al quindicesimo km), infatti in discesa è davvero pericolosa con una bici da strada.
Salita poco trafficata, ma capiterà di doversi fermare o rallentare per far passare macchine

Great climb overlooking the lake above beautiful Cernobbio, very long... you will feel you have reached the summit when in fact there are still 6 km to go! Nice road in the first few kilometres, very bad afterwards (especially downhill) challenging gradient but no major jolts, worth doing! Bring adequate drinks and don't force yourself in the first part.

Grande Salita che domina il lago sopra la bellissima Cernobbio, molto lunga...avrete la sensazione di essere arrivati in vetta quando invece mancheranno ancora 6 km! Bella strada nei primi km, pessima dopo (specie in discesa) pendenza impegnativa ma senza grossi strappi, da fare! Portarsi da bere adeguatamente e non forzare nella prima parte.

A beautiful climb from a scenic point of view, both the part overlooking the lake and the shorter part through the vegetation.
A beautiful finish with a breathtaking panorama and a gradient that is never too bad.
15 kilometres is a long way to go, but a climb that can be pedalled if it were not for the fact that the road surface is in a really bad condition. Much more suitable for gravel than road cycling.
On the descent it's even worse, you struggle to find a trajectory that doesn't strain your tyres and arms.
For such a narrow and bad road, there is a lot of traffic.
Do it once and wait until they resurface.

Una bella salita dal punto di vista paesaggistico, sia la parte che guarda il lago che quella più corta dalla vegetazione.
Un bell'arrivo con un panorama mozzafiato e una pendenza che non è mai troppo cattiva.
15 chilometri sono tanti, però una salita che si lascia pedalare se non fosse che il manto stradale versa in condizioni veramente pessime. Molto più adatto a una pedalata gravel che non stradale.
In discesa ancora peggio, si fatica a trovare una traiettoria che non solleciti copertoni e braccia.
Per una strada così stretta e malmessa, il traffico è davvero tanto.
Da fare una volta e attendere quando riasfalteranno.
