Beautiful discovery! After crossing the post Ceneri valley, you take a winding road between beautiful little villas. After a few kilometres, you enter nature. Despite being mountainous, the road is perfect until the junction for the other climb. The flat section, in addition to lowering the average gradient, is a little bumpy. At the top you find yourself in a beautiful Walser-style village with a small lake and a view of the mountains, were it not for the last section I would give it my all.... read more

Bellissima scoperta! Attraversata la valle post Ceneri, si imbocca una strada a tornanti tra bellissime villette. Dopo qualche km ci si addentra nella natura. La strada nonostante sia montagna è perfetta fino al bivio per l altra Salita. Il tratto pianeggiante oltre ad abbassare la pendenza media, è un po' sconnessa. Arrivati in cima ci si trova in un bellissimo villaggio stile walser con un piccolo laghetto e vista sulle montagne, non fosse per l'ultimo pezzo darei il massimo.

Challenging ascent, wonderful views, road surface generally good but a little questionable in some sections, absolutely must be done!

Salita impegnativa, vista meravigliosa, manto stradale in generale buono ma in alcuni tratti un po’ discutibile, da fare assolutamente!

The climb is more challenging than the average percentage says, partly because the last 3 kilometers are flat. In fact, the first 9 kilometers have an average gradient of about 9 ％. With the exception of the first few kilometers, the climb is often shaded by trees and is perfect if ridden in the summer months. The most challenging points will be encountered before Medoscio (long straight section) and before Monti di Ditto.
Spectacular views of the Lago Maggiore before reaching the top. You may find just a little traffic on summer weekends.
