Whoever says that the Ovaro slope is the most difficult has not tried this! An unforgiving climb, slopes always in double figures, with stretches over 20％. At 3 km from the summit it rejoins the road coming from Sutrio... just in time to make the last 3 km harder!... read more

Steepest slope of the Zoncolan. Fortunately, compared to the more famous one from Ovaro, it climbs very smoothly, so if you have a good leg and find your rhythm you can enjoy it.
Narrow road in the middle of the forest. I did it in June 2025 and the asphalt was excellent. However, it is advisable to descend from the Sutrio slope due to the much wider carriageway.

Versante più ripido dello Zoncolan. "Fortunatamente" rispetto al più famoso da Ovaro sale molto regolare, quindi se si ha una buona gamba e si trova il proprio ritmo ce lo si riesce a godere.
Stradina stretta in mezzo al bosco. L'ho fatta nel Giugno 2025 e l'asfalto era ottimo. Si consiglia comunque di scendere dal versate di Sutrio data la carreggiata molto più ampia.

At 3 km from the summit it rejoins the road coming from Sutrio... just in time to make the last 3 km harder!

Chi dice che il versante di Ovaro è il più difficile non ha provato questo! Una salita che non perdona, pendenze sempre in doppia cifra, con tratti oltre al 20％.
A 3 km dalla vetta si ricongiunge con la strada che arriva da Sutrio... giusto in tempo appunto per fare gli ultimi 3 km più duri!
