This climb rewards the climber with a wonderful view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Aeolian Islands and a good descent in between. But then comes the last stretch just after Massa Santa Lucia, for which you switch to a narrow side road and your legs start to burn. The last 1.5 kilometres have an average gradient of 10.8 ％ with 3 ramps with gradients of up to 20 ％.

This climb rewards the climber with a wonderful view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Aeolian Islands and a good descent in between. But then comes the last stretch just after Massa Santa Lucia, for which you switch to a narrow side road and your legs start to burn. The last 1.5 kilometres have an average gradient of 10.8 ％ with 3 ramps with gradients of up to 20 ％. In the first of the 3, the road surface is briefly very poor and there is gravel with coarse stones on the road. Make sure you keep to the right on the narrow road here. There is hardly any traffic here, but you will still come across a car from time to time.

Dieser Anstieg belohnt den Kletterer mit einer wunderbaren Aussieht auf das Tyrrhenischen Meer, die Äolischen Inseln und einer guten Abfahrt zwischendrin. Dann kommt jedoch das letzte Stück kurz hinter Massa Santa Lucia, für welches man auf eine schmale Nebenstraße wechselt und die Beine beginnen zu brennen. Die letzten 1,5 km haben eine mittlere Steigung von 10,8 ％ mit 3 Rampen mit bis zu 20 ％ Steigung. In der ersten von den 3 ist der Straßenbelag kurz sehr schlecht und es liegt Schotter mit groben Steinen auf der Straße. Stellen Sie hier sicher, dass sie rechts auf der schmalen Straße fahren. Es gibt hier zwar kaum Verkehr, aber dennoch kommt hier immer mal wieder ein Auto entgegen.
