The ascent of Monte Tomba from the Pieve di Caniezza side is a painful agony, right from the first few rides. Coming from Possagno and arriving near Caniezza, you can reach the start of the climb after turning left, following the signs. After just a few pedalings, you reach the large sign that announces the beginning of hell, since in no time at all the gradients become almost impossible, and after a little more than a kilometre of climbing, the real suffering begins: this intermediate part of the climb is breathtaking, puts undue stress on the body and never allows you to catch your breath. For 3 km you never descend below double figures and the maximum gradients repeatedly touch 16%-17%, first with a long and exhausting straight road and then with the real start of the hairpin bends, which only allow you to catch your breath for a few seconds.
The great difficulty of the climb from Pieve di Caniezza is precisely its intermediate phase, and the real challenge is to manage to keep your foot on the ground, while proceeding at minimum speed and practically maintaining a zig-zag pattern.
After km 4.5, fortunately, the road, while remaining narrow and often "dirty" with foliage and chestnuts, begins to level out, first slightly and then rather decisively. The last kilometre allows you to pick up speed until you reach the square that houses the Alpine troops monument, which offers the cyclist a choice when they reach the fork: to the left is the road that leads towards the Grappa, while to the right is the last bend, before the final 200 metres to the summit, a rather demanding straight that leads up to the little church and the summit proper, at an altitude of just over 850 metres.
The experience of climbing Mount Tomba is advisable for trained and prepared cyclists, but the effort is repaid by the sweet view of an enchanting and unspoilt landscape, while at the summit it is possible to "breathe" the history of a place that was the scene of death and suffering during the years of the Great War.
L'ascesa del Monte Tomba dal versante di Pieve di Caniezza è una sofferta agonia, fin dalle prime pedalate. Arrivando da Possagno e giunti presso Caniezza, è possibile giungere all'imbocco della salita dopo avere svoltato a sinistra, seguendo le indicazioni. Dopo poche pedalate, si giunge quindi al grande cartello che annuncia l'inizio dell'inferno dato che, in men che non si dica, le pendenze da dure diventano quasi impossibili e, dopo poco più di un km di ascesa, inizia la sofferenza vera: questa parte intermedia di salita infatti non concede respiro, stressa oltremodo il fisico e non consente mai di spezzare il fiato. Per 3 km non si scende mai sotto la doppia cifra e le pendenze massime sfiorano ripetutamente il 16%-17%, dapprima con una lunga ed estenuante stradina dritta e poi con l'inizio vero e proprio dei tornanti, che consentono solo per pochi secondi di prendere fiato.
La grande difficoltà della salita da Pieve di Caniezza è proprio la sua fase intermedia e la vera sfida consiste nel riuscire a non mettere il piede a terra, pur procedendo a velocità minime e praticamente mantenendo un andamento a zig-zag.
Dopo il km 4,5 per fortuna la strada, pur mantenendosi stretta e spesso "sporca" di fogliame e castagne, comincia a spianare, prima leggermente e poi piuttosto decisamente. L'ultimo km consente di prendere velocità fino al raggiungimento del piazzale che ospita il monumento degli alpini, che offre al ciclista la possibilità di scelta, giunto al bivio: a sinistra si apre la strada che conduce verso il Grappa, mentre a destra si può affrontare l'ultima curva, prima dei 200 metri finali fino in cima, un rettilineo piuttosto impegnativo che conduce fino alla Chiesetta e alla vetta vera e propria, a un'altitudine di poco più di 850 m.
L'esperienza della salita del monte Tomba è consigliabile a ciclisti allenati e preparati, ma la fatica è ripagata dalla dolce visuale di un paesaggio incantevole e incontaminato, mentre in vetta è possibile "respirare" la storia di un luogo che è stato teatro di morte e sofferenza, durante gli anni della Grande Guerra.
Ascent done by road bike all in one breath, beautiful, exciting for the effort, tough bike but I prefer it uphill than downhill. Tough test for those who want to experience hard gradients, there is a chance to catch your breath with the hairpin bends present but there are places where you reach the limit. However, I recommend it along with a good dose of courage
Salita fatta in bici da corsa tutta d'un fiato, bella, emozionante per la fatica, moto dura ma la preferisco in salita che in discesa. Dura prova per chi vuole sperimentare pendenze dure, c'è possibilità di prendere fiato coi tornanti presenti ma ci sono posti dove si arriva al limite. Comunque la consiglio assieme ad una buona dose di coraggio
Infamous climb, one km in between with fixed gradients above 16%, no rest until almost the top. 5km of pain but at the end a great view and great satisfaction
Salita infame, un km in mezzo con pendenze fisse sopra il 16%, nessun riposo fino quasi alla cima. 5km di dolore ma alla fine un gran bel panorama e gran soddisfazione
What an effort this climb was! It nipped me in the bud right from the very first steep hairpin bends, then somehow I fumbled my way to the end. Not many cyclists or cars pass this way, despite the excellent asphalt, perhaps because the road is a bit narrow and difficult.
I will definitely do it again, with more agile ratios ;)
Che fatica questa salita! Mi ha stroncato subito fin dai primi ripidissimi tornanti, poi in qualche modo annaspando sono arrivato alla fine. Non molti ciclisti né auto passano di qui, nonostante l'asfalto ottimo, forse perché la strada un po' stretta e difficoltosa.
La rifarò sicuramente, con rapporti più agili ;)
A fantastic climb best done I think from Alano di Piave. It is 6km long with an average gradient of 9% using this route though there are steeper ramps and also less steep sections to recover. I saw 2 cars only on the ascent there were signs saying road closed due to roadworks though there were none. The road surface is a bit broken in places but not too bad. The views from the top are spectacular looking north towards the Dolomites and south towards the Venetian plains. Make sure you avoid the 20 to 25% descent to Caniezza!
Climb, devastating, due to a planning error I thought it was much easier (I had got confused with the data from another climb I was planning), gradients of over 15% and close to 20% for large parts of the climb, never lets up.

I do not recommend doing it downhill, better to opt for the descent to Pederobba... The scenery at the top of Monte Tomba is very beautiful, so if you want to make a big effort, once in a lifetime, it is worth it, but only if you are in a masochistic mood.
Salita, devastante, per errore di pianificazione pensavo fosse molto più semplice (mi ero confuso coi dati di un'altra salita che stavo programmando), pendenze superiori al 15% e vicine al 20% per larghi tratti della salita, non molla mai. Mi sono fermato 3 volte ed è stato complicato anche risalire sui pedali... spesso c'è fogliame, la strada è molto stretta quindi c'è da augurarsi di trovare poche auto. Sconsiglio di farla in discesa, meglio optare per la discesa a Pederobba... Il paesaggio in cima al Monte Tomba è molto bello, quindi se volete fare una gran fatica, una volta nella vita, merita, ma soltanto se siete in un mood masochista.
I only descended this climb, which is not recommended. It is very steep (20-22%) with many hairpin turns. For one of our group this led to a broken front wheel that got too hot (rim brakes). I think going up is quite a challenge too.
Deze klim heb ik alleen afgedaald, wat geen aanrader is. Dit is zeer steil (20-22%) met veel haarspeltbochten. Bij een van ons groepje leidde dit tot een kapot voorwiel die te heet werd (velgremmen). Ik denk dat het omhoog ook een hele uitdaging is.
