Very beautiful ascent. Especially if you start from Laveno, you can cycle along the Torrente Boesla stream on a great cycle path for Italy. No view at the finish, but a finisher sign. Every kilometre with gradients. Lots of hairpin bends and a varied landscape. Gorges with streams, 2 villages, farmland and forest. Very beautiful.
Sehr schöner Anstieg. Besonders wenn man von Laveno anfährt, kann man am Bach Torrente Boesla auf einem für Italien tollen Radweg herfahren. Am Ziel keine Aussicht, dafür ein Finisher Schild. Jeder Kilometer mit Steigungsangaben. Sehr viele Serpentinen und abwechslungsreiche Landschaft. Schluchten mit Bach, 2 Dörfer, Landwirtschaft und Wald. Sehr schön.
A climb that has to be done in the Varese area. Very hard and long but well sheltered from sun and wind. Numerous hairpin bends. I recommend the ascent from Cittiglio and descent to Arcumeggia. From there there are beautiful views. We give it a 4/5 very close to 5/5. At the top there isn't a super view but from a cycling point of view a climb not to be missed.
Salita da fare per forza zona Varese. Molto dura e lunga ma ben riparata da sole e vento. Numerosi tornanti. Consiglio salita da Cittiglio e discesa verso Arcumeggia. Da lì ci sono bellissimi scorci. Diamo un 4/5 molto tendente al 5/5. In cima non c'è una super vista ma ciclisticamente salita imperdibile
For me, who is not a very well-trained cyclist, it was quite hard to get to the top of the Cuvignone, although once I got there, it was particularly gratifying to reach the halfway point. The route itself is surrounded by greenery, with few cars travelling along it. Also close to the route are several paths that lead to various beautiful views of Lake Maggiore. Recommended route
Per me che non sono un ciclista molto allenato è stata abbastanza dura arrivare in cima al Cuvignone, anche se una volta giunto, è stato particolarmente gratificante arrivare alla metà. Il percorso di per sé è immerso nel verde, con poche autovetture che lo percorrono. Sempre vicino al percorso ci sono parecchi sentieri che conducono a vari bel vedere dove è possibile osservare il lago Maggiore. Percorso consigliato
I read that the Cuvignone was one of the favourite climbs for training in heroic cycling times by the legendary Alfredo Binda and in more recent years by Ivan Basso. I enjoyed it very much, although the dense forest, which in summer shelters and refreshes, almost always prevents a view of Lake Maggiore. Arcumeggia, the "painted village" is worth a visit.
Leggevo che il Cuvignone era una delle salite preferite per allenarsi in tempi di ciclismo eroico dal mitico Alfredo Binda e in anni più recenti da Ivan Basso. Mi è piaciuta molto, anche se il fitto bosco, che d'estate ripara è rinfresca, impedisce quasi sempre la vista del Lago Maggiore. Vale una visita Arcumeggia, il "paese dipinto".
