If you arrive at the pass from Clusone, it is worth going down to Dezzo and then up again from there. You will not regret it. More beautiful climb and less traffic than on the other side. ( km of which the first 4 are rideable, but the last four are definitely challenging, with several sections at 14/15％. It is well worth it. If you go back down towards Clusone, don't forget to visit the centre of Clusone... read more

Se arrivate al passo da Clusone, vale la pena scendere a Dezzo e poi risalire da lì. Non ve ne pentirete. Salita più bella e meno trafficata rispetto l'altro lato. ( km di cui i primi 4 pedalabili, ma gli ultimi quattro decisamente impegnativi, con diversi tratti al 14/15％. Ne vale la pena. Se ridiscendete verso Clusone, non dimenticatevi di visitare il centro di Clusone

Fun climb, with 14％ sections in the middle section and a few hairpin bends. Done in mid-August, acceptable traffic and wide roadway. Recommended rear lights. The views are not impressive but worth it

Salita divertente, con tratti al 14％ nella sezione centrale e qualche tornante. Fatta a metà agosto, traffico accettabile e sede stradale ampia. Faretti posteriori consigliati. I panorami non sono impressionanti ma vale la pena

I rode this climb arriving in Dezzo from the via mala (lights required for several tunnels). The first 4km are uneventful, then for 2km there are several 14％ tears preceded by the warning sign. Traffic is not exaggerated, more motorbikes than cars (but also buses). Excellent asphalt, a few stones and twigs on the uphill side. On the way up, there are short tunnels on bends that protect against avalanches in the winter months. Worth doing at least once.

Ho percorso questa salita arrivando a Dezzo dalla via mala (necessarie luci per diverse gallerie). I primi 4km sono tranquilli, poi per 2km ci sono diversi strappi al 14％ preceduti dal cartello di avviso. Traffico non esagerato, più moto che auto (ma anche bus di linea). Asfalto ottimo, qualche sasso e rametto dal lato a monte. Salendo si incontrano brevissime gallerie su curva che proteggono da valanghe nei mesi invernali. Da fare almeno una volta.
