Very hard, never lets up, best tackled by MTB. Avoid the hottest hours in summer.

Durissima, non molla mai, meglio se affrontata in MTB. Da evitare nelle ore più calde in estate.

A beautiful and challenging climb that never gives you pause. It is essentially made up of two parts. The first is entirely asphalt, while the second, from the Monte Farno restaurant, is concrete. Both segments can be done with a road bike, but for the second, given the gradients that touch 20%, it is best to have very generous ratios - I did it with my gravel bike with a 46/30 + 36/10, doing the last stretch with all the teeth available and on the pedals. Once you reach the top, if you have a gravel bike you can decide to continue and do the dirt part, which is a lot of fun and beautiful.
The climb as a whole is very spectacular from a scenic point of view, because it allows a glimpse to the west towards the Seriana valley - at a glance you can go beyond Bergamo and even see the mountains of the Brembana valley, including the very recognisable Valcava - and to the south towards the mountains overlooking Lake Endine. However, it is a very exposed climb with little vegetation, so it can present unpleasant surprises in summer. Since the climb is therefore quite long, I recommend stocking up on water - in Gandino you will find a few fountains along the way.

Salita bella e impegnativa che non dà mai tregua. E' essenzialmente composta da due parti. La prima è interamente in asfalto, mentre la seconda, dal ristorante monte Farno, è in cemento. Tutte e due i segmenti possono essere fatti con bici da corsa, ma per il secondo, visto le pendenze che toccano anche il 20%, è meglio avere rapporti molto generosi - io l'ho fatta con la mia gravel con un 46/30 + 36/10, facendo l'ultimo tratto con tutti i denti a disposizione e sui pedali. Arrivati in cima se si ha una gravel si può decidere di proseguire e fare la parte in sterrato che è molto divertente e bella.
La salita complessivamente dal punto di vista paesaggistico è molto spettacolare, perché consente di dare un'occhiata a ovest verso la valle Seriana - con un colpo d'occhio si va oltre Bergamo e si vedono pure le montagne della val Brembana, tra cui la riconoscibilissima Valcava - e a sud verso le montagne che dànno sul lago d'Endine. Tuttavia è una salita parecchio esposta e con poca vegetazione, quindi in estate può presentare spiacevoli sorprese. Essendo quindi la salita abbastanza lunga, consiglio di fare scorte d'acqua - a Gandino qualche fontana lungo il cammino la si trova.
