It is accessed from State Road 72. Although it is a shorter ascent than the other two (from Irgoli and from the state road 42), it is undoubtedly the toughest slope, loved by climbers. Good road surface. Narrower road with the possibility of encountering grazing animals, cows and sheep. Enchanting landscape rich in the colours and scents of the Mediterranean maquis. Once you reach the top, I recommend leaving your bike in the Norghio refuge, on the right. From there you can access the mountain o... read more

It is accessed from State Road 72. Although it is a shorter ascent than the other two (from Irgoli and from the state road 42), it is undoubtedly the toughest slope, loved by climbers. Good road surface. Narrower road with the possibility of encountering grazing animals, cows and sheep. Enchanting landscape rich in the colours and scents of the Mediterranean maquis. Once you reach the top, I recommend leaving your bike in the Norghio refuge, on the right. From there you can access the mountain on foot (I brought my tennis shoes in a backpack) along a spectacularly traced path (in part) that leads up to the "Conca isteddata" .... hollow granite rocks, so called because of the perforated vault, almost as if to recall a starry sky of extraordinary beauty. Entering inside is something truly evocative!!!

Si accede dalla strada statale 72. Pur essendo salita più corta rispetto alle altre due ( da Irgoli e dalla strada statale 42 ) senz’altro è il versante più duro, amato dagli scalatori. Manto stradale buono. Strada più stretta con la possibilità di incontrare animali da pascolo mucche e pecore. Paesaggio incantevole ricco di colori e profumi della macchia mediterranea . Arrivati in cima, consiglio di lasciare la bici nel rifugio di Norghio,sulla dx .Da li si può accedere a piedi ( ho portato appresso scarpe da tennis dentro un zainetto ) lungo un sentiero tracciato ( in parte) a dir poco spettacolare che conduce sino alle pietre stellate “Conca isteddata” ….massi granitici cavi, chiamati così per via della volta traforata quasi a ricordare un cielo stellato di bellezza straordinaria. Entrare all’interno è un qualcosa di veramente suggestivo!!!
