The climb is divided into three sections: the first is very difficult and uneven, with gradients reaching 20 per cent interspersed with short, almost flat stretches; here, you need to pace yourself carefully. This is followed by an easier section, even flat, leading to the village of Campolo: from here, the final 4 km begin, with steady gradients of around 9–10 per cent; from this point onwards, the road runs through woodland, which helps a great deal on summer days.

The climb is divided into three sections: the first is very difficult and uneven, with gradients reaching 20 per cent interspersed with short, almost flat stretches; here, you need to pace yourself carefully. This is followed by an easier section, even flat, leading to the village of Campolo: from here, the final 4 km begin, with steady gradients of around 9–10 per cent; from this point onwards, the road runs through woodland, which helps a great deal on summer days. Watch out for the final ramp, which is deceptively tough, well over 10 per cent. It is, however, a very beautiful climb, especially from Campolo. Once you reach the car park, you must descend via the same slope.

Salita divisa in tre parti: molto difficile e irregolare la prima, con rampe che arrivano al 20％ intervallate da brevi tratti quasi pianeggianti; qui bisogna dosarsi con attenzione. Segue poi un tratto più facile, addirittura pianeggiante, fino all'abitato di Campolo: da qui cominciano gli ultimi 4 km, con pendenze regolari intorno al 9-10％: la strada da qui in avanti è nel bosco, il che aiuta molto nelle giornate estive. Attenzione all'ultima rampa, che a tradimento torna durissima, ben sopra il 10％. Salita comunque molto bella, specie da Campolo. Arrivati al parcheggio, si deve scendere per lo stesso versante.
