Impressive. The name Mortirolo alone creates a certain tension as we cycle from Grosio into the dense forest on a very narrow path. In no time, the percentages go well over 10％. Going back to 34x34 and standing on the pedals regularly is the solution. After 4/5 km come the Alpine meadows and you can see the valley and Grosio below. Only then do you realise how fast you are climbing. Forest and meadow continue to alternate already landscape. What makes the Mortirolo tough is that there are no stretches to rest. It remains continuously tough. The last kilometre is a place to have a drink and you can see the summit in the distance. At the top, unfortunately, it is not spectacular. No special views. A hilltop with meadows. But a lot of satisfaction 😀.
Indrukwekkend. De naam Mortirolo zorgt alleen al voor een bepaalde spanning wanneer we vanuit Grosio het dichte bos in fietsen over een heel smal pad. Binnen de kortste keren gaan de percentages dik boven de 10％. Terug naar 34x34 en regelmatig op de pedalen staan is de oplossing. Na 4/5 km komen de Alpenweide en kun je het dal en Grosio beneden zien liggen. Dan heb je pas door hoe snel je stijgt. Bos en weide blijven elkaar al landschap afwisselen. Wat de Mortirolo zwaar maakt is dat er geen stukken zijn om even bij te komen. Het blijft continue zwaar. De laatste kilometer is een plek om wat te drinken en kun je de top in de verte zien. Boven is helaas niet spectaculair. Geen bijzondere uitzichten. Een heuveltop met weiland. Maar wel een hoop voldoening 😀.
Perhaps one of the 'easiest' climbs to reach the Mortirolo but certainly more scenic and varied than the ascent from Mazzo. Generally, this climb is not very busy.
From km 9 it rejoins the climb coming from Mazzo.
I do not remember any fountains along the route and there is no possibility of refreshment at the finish.

Forse una delle salite più "facili" per raggiungere il Mortirolo ma sicuramente più panoramica e varia rispetto alla salita da Mazzo. Generalmente questa salita è poco frequentata.
Dal km9 si ricongiunge alla salita che proviene da Mazzo.
Non ricordo fontane lungo il percorso e non c'è possibilità di ristoro all'arrivo.
