Challenging and very uneven ascent: the altimetry does not do full justice, as there are alternating sections that are rideable (even short downhill sections) and hard sections, well above 10％; even in the final part, the average gradients are lower, but they result from alternating easy sections and short ramps. To make matters worse, the asphalt is in a disastrous condition, with potholes, uneven stretches and gravel: the floods of 2022 and 2024 have left clear traces. For the same reason... read more

Challenging and very uneven ascent: the altimetry does not do full justice, as there are alternating sections that are rideable (even short downhill sections) and hard sections, well above 10％; even in the final part, the average gradients are lower, but they result from alternating easy sections and short ramps.

To make matters worse, the asphalt is in a disastrous condition, with potholes, uneven stretches and gravel: the floods of 2022 and 2024 have left clear traces. For the same reason, the descent requires extreme care.

Salita impegnativa e molto irregolare: l'altimetria non rende piena giustizia, perché si alternano tratti pedalabili (addirittura per brevi tratti in discesa) a tratti duri, ben sopra il 10％; anche nella parte finale le pendenze medie sono più basse, ma derivano da un'alternanza di tratti facili e brevi rampe.

A peggiorare il giudizio, l'asfalto, che è in condizioni disastrose, con buche, tratti sconnessi, ghiaia: gli alluvioni del 2022 e del 2024 hanno lasciato tracce ben evidenti. Per lo stesso motivo, la discesa richiede estrema attenzione.
