A nice, pedalable climb, in the lower part on the hairpin bends it feels like being in the mountains, then at a certain point it gets steep and my Garmin reads 20％ in the section before Cagliano. If you continue towards San Genesio, there's another stretch with 21％ then along the gravel road it flattens out but always above 10％.... read more

Bella salita pedalabile, nella parte bassa sui tornanti pare di essere in montagna, poi ad un certo punto si impenna e il mio Garmin segna 20％ nel tratto prima di Cagliano. Se si prosegue verso San Genesio, c'è un altro tratto con il 21％ poi lungo lo sterrato tiene spiana ma sempre oltre al 10％.

The climb is very hard; the stretch from the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Sasso (well worth a visit, there is a fountain of very fresh water) to the Hermitage of San Genesio is unpaved and a huge dust cloud rises every time a car passes. At the top, besides the Hermitage, there is the House of the Alpini, which is quite busy.

Salita molto dura; il tratto dal Santuario della Madonna del Sasso (merita una visita, c'è una fontana di acqua freschissima) all'Eremo di San Genesio è sterrato e si alza un polverone ogni volta che passa un'automobile. Sulla cima, oltre all'Eremo, c'è la Casa degli Alpini, abbastanza frequentata.

Nice and with some nice steep parts...last section unpaved (I did it both by bike and by mobility)

Carina e con qualche bel pezzetto di forte pendenza…ultimo tratto sterrato ( io l'ho fatto sia con la bici che con la mobilità)

Not a long climb but very hard, not smooth, many stretches over 15％, well asphalted in the first 4 km then better to use the mountain bike.

Salita non lunga ma molto dura, non regolare, molti tratti oltre il 15％, ben asfaltata nei primi 4 km poi è meglio usare la mtb.
