Rode early May 2025. Very good road surface and only the odd bit of traffic, past the convention hardly any. Occasional openings give breathtaking views. Last 70m or so mad steep. Gradients varying a fair bit. Nice climb

A truly amazing climb that takes you from the beach up to the highest point of Monte Argentario. Only saw one or two cars the entire way when I did it in late March 2023 and the tarmac is fine. The views are absolutely stunning and on a clear day you can see Corsica clearly in the background. The steepest bit is the very last climb up to the summit (Telegrafo); my Garmin mentioned 20％. At the top is a military zone, but there is also a nice viewpoint which is accessible.
