An amazing climb. the road climbs gently from olmo through cassiglio, then after the detour to the right for ornica, you enter a very beautiful deep valley and in a few kilometres you arrive in ornica. there starts the very hard stretch of about 2 km with peaks of 20％. then a false flat and another wall on concrete before reaching the road that climbs from s. brigida. from there about 4 km up to the piani dell'avaro. a tough climb because it is very irregular but not to be missed.... read more

An amazing climb. the road climbs gently from olmo through cassiglio, then after the detour to the right for ornica, you enter a very beautiful deep valley and in a few kilometres you arrive in ornica. there starts the very hard stretch of about 2 km with peaks of 20％. then a false flat and another wall on concrete before reaching the road that climbs from s. brigida. from there about 4 km up to the piani dell'avaro. a tough climb because it is very irregular but not to be missed.

Salita strepitosa. la strada sale dolcemente già da olmo attraversando cassiglio poi dopo la deviziazione a dx per ornica si entra in una valle profonda molto bella e in pochi km si arriva ad ornica..li parte il tratto durissimo di circa 2 km con punte al 20％. poi un falsopiano ed un altro muro su cemento prima di arrivare alla strada che sale da s. brigida. da li 4 km circa fino ai piani dell'avaro. salita dura perchè molto irregolare ma imperdibile.

The climb is really steep in the indicated sections. With another instrument it shows me 1.7km at over 14％ average and honestly you can feel them all, so much so that when it gets back to 10 or 11％ it seems to give you a breather. Beware that around 1200m it becomes striped concrete (I have uploaded a photo) and very steep. Next there is about 250m of well-maintained dirt road (another photo). Asphalt in places new alternating with sections to be resurfaced. The last few km very bad asphalt, almost dangerous on the descent if you don't proceed with caution. Breathtaking scenery

Salita che nei tratti indicati si presenta davvero ripida. Con un altro strumento mi indica 1,7km ad oltre il 14％ di media e onestamente si sentono tutti, tanto che quando torna al 10 o 11％ sembra darti respiro. Attenzione che attorno ai 1200m di quota diventa cementato a strisce (ho caricato una foto) e molto ripido. A seguire ci sono circa 250m di strada bianca ben tenuta (altra foto). Asfalto a tratti nuovo alternato a tratti da rifare. Gli ultimi km asfalto pessimo, quasi pericoloso in discesa se non procedi con cautela. Scenari mozzafiato
