In winter, however, it is one of the coldest areas, especially the Brinzio. The small lake before the last stretch is beautiful.... read more

Super frequentata dai ciclisti è una salitella pedalabile. Congiunge la Valcuvia con Varese. Non offre punti di difficoltà, immersa nella natura, ottima fatta anche d'estate. D inverno invece è una delle zone più fredde, specie il Brinzio. Bello il laghetto prima dell'ultimo strappetto

It is a provincial classic, on its own as a training session, on the way into Val Ganna....in short, any excuse is good to pass through here

È una classica della provincia, da sola come allenamento, di passaggio per entrare in Val Ganna....insomma, ogni scusa è buona per passare di qui

Excellent climb with various changes in gradient. Flat central section where you can rest. Most of it is in the shade so excellent to climb even in summer.

Ottima salita con vari cambi di pendenza. Tratto centrale piano dove si può rifiatare. La maggior parte è all’ombra quindi ottima da scalare anche d’estate.

Pedalable climb. But wild, lots of bends deep in the woods....

Salita pedalabile. Ma selvaggia, tante curve nel profondo dei boschi...
