The home climb, tough, no excessive climbs, except for the finale, but it never lets up.

La salita di casa, tosta, senza strappi eccessivi, tranne che sul finale, ma non molla mai.

Beautiful, challenging climb, made in May 2024 by road bike
You can ride it all the way to the antenna. A medium gradient that never lets up, In some sections, not very long, the road is unpaved with stones (the ones you have to avoid) at the end of the climb you can see a glimpse of Lake Lugano and if you want to "hurt yourself" with 100 metres of those impossible climbs (in cement) you can reach the RAI antenna that towers above the mountain

Belle salita impegnativa, fatta nel Maggio 2024 in bici da corsa
La si può percorrere fino all'antenna. Una pendenza media che non molla mai, In alcuni tratti, non molto lunghi, la strada è sterrata a sassi (quelli che devi evitare) alla fine della salita si vede un scorcio del lago di Lugano e volendosi "fare del male" con 100 metri di salita di quelle impossibili (in cemento ) si può raggiungere l'antenna Rai che sovrasta il monte

Little known, but one of the most challenging climbs in the Varese region. Don't be fooled by the short dirt track that you encounter after a while: the asphalt begins again almost immediately. Great view of Ceresio and Padania

Poco conosciuta, ma una delle salite più impegnative del Varesotto. Non fatevi ingannare dal breve tratto sterrato che si incontra dopo un po': l'asfalto ricomincia quasi subito. Gran vista sul Ceresio e sulla Padania
