long climb when you start in Biasca. I started at 8 o clock, but it took me almost 4 hours to reach the top of the Passo. It is more ore less around 40k while gaining more then 1400 meter in altitude.
The middle section is the steepest, but not too steep. Many viewpoints during the climb and places to stop. On tht top you get a nice view of the lake. When you go further towards Disentis you road still gains some altitude in the tunnel.
Climb made several times (both in winter and summer). The climb does not present any particular difficulties except for its length, especially if you start from Biasca. The road winds along the Blenio valley, which can be admired, together with the surrounding mountains, during the ascent. The road is wide and with wide bends, the road surface is good. I strongly recommend, if you tackle the ascent from Biasca, to manage your strength on the climbs that you will find in the valley leading to Olivone, where the actual ascent begins, otherwise you will risk going into crisis on the climb.
Note that the pass is open all year round, so it is possible to make the ascent in winter between two walls of snow (beautiful), but inquire beforehand because the pass is occasionally closed due to avalanche risk.
Several fountains along the ascent and a hospice with a bar/restaurant at the summit.
Salita fatta diverse volte (sia in inverno che in estate). La scalata non presenta particolari difficoltà ad esclusione della sua lunghezza, soprattutto se partite da Biasca. La strada si snoda lungo la val di Blenio che è possibile ammirare, insieme alle montagne circostanti, durante l' ascesa. La strada è larga e con ampie curve, il manto stradale è buono. Consiglio vivamente, se affrontate la salita da Biasca di gestire le forze sulle salite che troverete nella valle che porta ad Olivone, dove inizia l' ascesa vera e propria, altrimenti rischierete di andare in crisi sulla salita.
Notare che il passo è aperto tutto l' anno perciò è possibile fare la salita d'inverno tra due muri di neve (bellissimo), però informatevi prima perché occasionalmente il passo viene chiuso per rischio valanghe.
Diverse fontane lungo la salita e ospizio con annesso bar / ristorante in vetta.
