Challenging climb with double-digit gradients on a narrow, quiet road through the forest. Climb very similar to the others above Valduggia but allowing for interesting training and performance!

As an ascent it has some rather steep slopes, too bad the asphalt after Valpiana where you have to be very careful especially on the hairpin bends.
