A beautiful spot with plenty of route options; spring and summer are the recommended times to visit. There’s a lot of car and lorry traffic, so do take care. Very popular with cyclists and motorcyclists. The road surface is good.

The climb immediately starts hard and pushes on to Borselli. Then some breathing space and another climb before reaching the last climb before the top of the hill.
It is a bit busy, so I recommend tackling it early in the morning or on Sundays.
Rich in scenic spots
