Fairly long but steady climb remember to keep some fuel for the last 3km
Salita abbastanza lunga ma regolare ricordatevi di tenere un po’ di benzina per gli ultimi 3km
Most of this climb is identical to the route to Passo Bordala.
You start at the roundabout on the busy SS240 in Loppio where you turn into the Valle di Gresta, known for organic agriculture and horticulture.
The wide road with excellent tarmac consequently winds upwards past vineyards, fields and meadows nestled between the rock faces. You cycle through or past picturesque little villages centralised around the church tower.
Just before cycling into Ronzo -Chienis you leave the Bordala route on the left for the last 3 tough kilometres with as many hairpin bends on wide road that narrows towards the end. Just before the summit there is another tough +10％
kilometre section.
Summit plateau has nothing outside a water source and a café nearby. It even has the village's rubbish collection containers.
Tip: Start in Loppio is accessible from Torbole -Nago via car-free signposted cycling route next to the overcrowded SS240 (Lake Garda towards Brennerautostrade).
As an extra, on the way to or when descending, pick up Passo Bordala , but I personally found the other climbing side from Bolognano much nicer.
Grootste deel van deze klim heeft identiek verloop als de route naar de Passo Bordala.
Je start dan ook aan het rondpunt op de drukke SS240 in Loppio waar je de Valle di Gresta opdraait die gekend staat voor biologische land- en tuinbouw .
De brede weg met prima asfalt slingert zich bijgevolg omhoog langs de wijngaarden, akkers en weides gelegen tussen de rotswanden. Je fietst door of langs pittoreske kleine dorpjes gecentraliseerd rond de kerktoren.
Vlak voor het binnenfietsen van Ronzo -Chienis verlaat je links de Bordala route voor de laatste 3 pittige kilometers met evenveel haarspeldbochten op brede weg die versmalt naar het einde toe. Vlak voor de top is er nog een stevige +10％
kilometersectie.
Topplateau heeft buiten een waterbron en een café in de buurt niks. Er staan zelfs de afvalverzamelcontainers van het dorp.
Tip: Start in Loppio is vanuit Torbole -Nago bereikbaar via autovrije bewegwijzerde fietsroute naast de overdrukke SS240 (Gardameer richting Brennerautostrade).
Als extra, op weg naar of bij het afdalen van, Passo Bordala mee te pikken ,maar de andere klimzijde vanuit Bolognano vond ik persoonlijk veel mooier.
