The section from Terrinca to Passo Croce is particularly beautiful. The tarmac has been resurfaced in various places, but there are still sections of the final stretch in poor condition. The view from the pass is lovely. On the final stretch (the last 6 km), there is practically no traffic apart from the odd lorry heading for the Corchia quarries. The last 6 km are the crux of this climb, and there are no sections along this stretch where you can catch your breath.... read more

Particolarmente bella la parte da Terrinca al Passo Croce. L'asfalto è stato rifatto in varie parti ma ci sono ancora parti del pezzo finale in condizioni scarse. Bello il panorama arrivati al passo. Nel tratto finale (ultimi 6 km) il traffico è praticamente inesistente salvo qualche sporadico camion diretto alle cave del Corchia. Gli ultimi 6 km sono il cuore di questa salita e in questi km non ci sono tratti dove poter riprendere fiato.
