Beautiful. You climb up from the Torreglia cemetery, immediately with a challenging gradient and apart from a few short resting stretches you cover more than two kilometres, always around 10％ The asphalt is in excellent condition, the pass is punctuated by the isolated presence of villas, refuges and restaurants, and the conclusion overlooks the access gate to the famous Hermitage of Monte Rua, a monastery that is still inhabited and is only accessible on certain days and at certain times (it is a good idea to telephone if you want to enter).
Beautiful paths for walkers branch off around the summit of the Colle.
The thick vegetation prevents the road cyclist from enjoying the panorama. As it is not a transit road, the traffic is really limited and the silence an excellent companion for the spirit.
Bellissima. Si sale dal cimitero di Torreglia, subito con pendenza impegnativa e a parte qualche breve tratto di riposo si percorrono più di due chilometri sempre intorno al 10％. L'asfalto è in ottimo stato, il passo è scandito dalla presenza isolata di Ville, Rifugi e Ristoranti e la conclusione si affaccia sul cancello di accesso del famoso Eremo di Monte Rua, monastero ancora abitato accessibile solo in alcuni giorni e orari (bene telefonare se si vuole entrare).
Intorno alla cima del Colle si diramano bellissimi sentieri per camminatori.
La folta vegetazione impedisce al ciclista su strada di godere del panorama. Non essendo strada di passaggio il traffico è veramente limitato e il silenzio ottimo compagno per lo spirito.
