This is a beautiful climb that takes you from Locarno at Lago Maggiore, to Monte Brè. Highly recommended!

The first part is on brand new tarmac through a fancy suburb (Locarno Monti). After there is a long and steep part through a dense forest on a more narrow road, but still on fine tarmac.

Then you arrive at the lovely village of Monte Brè, from which you have stunning views of the lake and the tall moutains around.

This route ends a bit after the village on a parking lot in another forest. This very last bit is really steep!

No tunnels on the whole route and little traffic too when I did it on a Sunday morning in September.
