A pleasant climb with no major jolts and a flat middle section to catch your breath. The road has little traffic and the road surface is very nice. Obviously the views are exceptional, as are all the glimpses that the Gulf of Tigullio offers. It is possible to add various variants to the route, and I suggest a very beautiful ring-route with the Valico della Mola... read more

A famous bikers' road, it is almost an exaggeration to call it a real climb because apart from a couple of kilometres at the beginning and a kilometre in the second part it seems more like a long falsopiano. Nice wide roads, wonderful views, very sunny in summer.

Famosa strada dei motociclisti, è quasi esagerato definirla una vera salita perché a parte un paio di km iniziali e un km nella seconda parte sembra più un lungo falsopiano. Strade belle larghe, scorci meravigliosi, molto assolata in estate.

Beautiful climb! 15 km but taken well, two climbs, the first the worst at the start for the first 3 km the second around the tenth eleventh. Remaining gentle slopes very well pedalled. Beautiful environment and views. Lots of bikes on holidays

Bellissima salita! 15 km ma presi bene, due strappi, il primo il peggiore all'inizio per i primi 3km il secondo intorno al decimo undicesimo. Resto pendenze dolci molto ben pedalabili. Ambiente e vista bellissime. Tante moto nei festivi

Bella salita gradevole senza grossi strappi ed un pezzo centrale in piano per riprendere fiato. La strada è poco trafficata con il manto stradale molto bello. Ovviamente i panorami sono eccezionali come tutti gli scorci che il golfo del tigullio offre. Possibile aggiungere varie varianti al percorso, suggerisco un giro ad anello molto bello con il valico della Mola

First 4/5 km at 6/7 ％ then rideable, some falsoplanes halfway up; road surface excellent, recent passage of the Giro d'Italia 2024. Beautiful scenery; starting at 08.00 from Sestri, shade for about 70％ of the route. Beware of motorcyclists at the weekend, fast and flush on the inside and then wide on the outside corners. Few cars.

Primi 4/5 km al 6/7 ％ poi pedalabile, alcuni falsopiani a metà salita; manto stradale ottimo, recente passaggio del Giro d’Italia 2024. Panorama bellissimo; con partenza alle 08.00 da Sestri, ombra per circa 70％ del tragitto. Attenzione ai motociclisti nel weekend, veloci e a filo curve interne e poi larghi in uscita curva. Poche auto.

Nice gradual climb with fantastic views. Particularly beginning is quite steep. Road is wide and newly built. There is enough shade to do the climb even on a hot summer day. Traffic was not too bad.

Mooie geleidelijke klim met fantastische uitzichten. Met name begin is vrij steil. Weg is breed en nieuw aangelegd. Er is genoeg schaduw om ook op een warme zomerdag de klim te doen. Verkeersdrukte viel mee.

The road immediately climbs steeply for a couple of kilometres then becomes more pedalable.
Once at the top, the view is truly exceptional: the road is 600 metres above sea level.

At the weekend, it is possible to meet several motorcyclists, so be very careful.

La strada sale subito forte per un paio di chilometri poi diventa più pedalabile.
Una volta arrivati in cima il panorama è davvero eccezionale: strada a 600 metri a picco sul mare.

Nel weekend è possibile incontrare diversi motociclisti quindi massima attenzione.
