The intensity of the Miravalle Restaurant Wall is devastating... It is a few hundred metres that seem never-ending. And you only find your breath at the end. Not to be missed only by those who want to hurt themselves...... read more

The intensity of the Miravalle Restaurant Wall is devastating... It is a few hundred metres that seem never-ending. And you only find your breath at the end. Not to be missed only by those who want to hurt themselves...

L'intensità del Muro post ristornate Miravalle è devastante... Sono alcune centinaia di metri che sembrano non finire mai. E il respiro lo trovi solo alla fine. Da non perdere solo per chi ha voglia di farsi del male...

I have written an inaccuracy. The Mottolone plateau is located after the turn that leads to Mount Ventolone...

Ho scritto un' imprecisione. Il pianoro del Mottolone si trova dopo la svolta che porta sul monte Ventolone...

One of the most difficult climbs in the Euganean Hills. The section just outside Arquà Petrarca, which enters the woods after the Miravalle restaurant, is very hard and several hundred metres long. Once you reach Mottolone, the most arduous part is behind you and the panorama to the west is stupendous, especially at sunset. Furthermore, from the plateau, it is possible to access other very beautiful climbs, such as those to Monte Gallo, Monte Orbieso, Passo Roverello and others near the central hills.
The stretch towards the summit of Ventolone is concrete and forms a left-handed spiral similar to that of Monte Cero, except that the panorama both at the end and during the ascent is completely hidden by vegetation.

Una delle salite più difficili degli Euganei. Il tratto appena usciti da Arquà Petrarca, che si addentra nel bosco dopo il ristorante Miravalle, è durissimo e lungo diverse centinaia di metri. Una volta giunti al Mottolone la parte più ardua è alle spalle e il panorama verso Ovest è stupendo, soprattutto al tramonto. Inoltre dal pianoro è possibile accedere ad altre salite molto belle, come quelle sul Monte Gallo, Monte Orbieso, Passo Roverello ed altre vicine ai colli centrali.
Il tratto verso la cima del Ventolone è in cemento e costituisce una spirale sinistrorsa simile a quella del monte Cero tranne per il fatto che il panorama sia alla fine che durante la salita è completamente nascosto dalla vegetazione.
