Tough climb in the middle section, only to be tackled if well trained and equipped with an agile ratio, road surface a bit rough in the final tree-lined section, thank you Climb Finder for introducing me to it!

Salita durissima nel tratto centrale, da affrontare solo se ben allenati e muniti di rapporto agile, manto stradale un po' rovinato nel tratto finale alberato, grazie Climb Finder per avermela fatta scoprire!

In my opinion, a climb not to be missed. It is the climb to do at least once a year if you live in the area.
It's long and has really challenging gradients.
The Garmin marks percentages higher than the altitude profile shown, with peaks as high as 16%.
The only negative note: every time I have ridden this climb I have found free dogs chasing you and it is not at all pleasant to have to face them on those slopes, both uphill and downhill.

A mio avviso una salita da non perdere. E' la salita da fare almeno una volta l'anno se si vive in zona.
E' lunga e ha pendenze veramente impegnative.
Il Garmin segna percentuali più alte del profilo altimetrico mostrato, con punte anche al 16%.
Unica nota negativa: ogni volta che ho percorso questa salita ho trovato dei cani liberi che ti rincorrono.. e non è affatto simpatico doverli fronteggiare su quelle pendenze, sia in salita che in discesa.

A climb to be taken with a grain of salt...the central section is really really hard!
You start from La Forma and climb along the side of the mountain...the first kilometres are around 7-8% then you reach a slight falsopiano...from here you turn right and climb towards the hardest part...it is about 2.5 km with gradients that never drop below 11% with stretches at 16%...past this very hard section, you pass into the forest after about 400 metres of slight falsopiano...here the road begins to climb again with stretches even at 10% up to the top of the final square with a wide view of the valley below! For lovers of climbing...not to be missed!!!

Salita da prendere con le molle...il tratto centrale è veramente veramente duro!
Si parte da La Forma e si sale costeggiando la fiancata del monte...i primi km sono intorno al 7-8% per poi arrivare a un leggero falsopiano...da qui si gira verso dx e si sale verso la parte piu dura...sono circa 2,5 km con pendenze che non scendono mai sotto l'11% con tratti al 16%...superato questo tratto durissimo si passa dentro il bosco dopo circa 400 mt di leggero falsopiano...qui la strada ricomincia a salire con tratti anche al 10% fino in cima alla piazzetta finale con ampia vista sulla vallata sottostante! Per gli amanti della salita...da non perdere!!!
