Beautiful ascent from Palazzuolo sul Senio to the Sambuca pass: harder in the first kilometres, then easier and smoother until the final stretch, where some more challenging ramps lead to the summit. A very beautiful and recommended road, but extremely popular with motorcyclists: something to bear in mind, as the road is quite narrow in places.... read more

Beautiful ascent from Palazzuolo sul Senio to the Sambuca pass: harder in the first kilometres, then easier and smoother until the final stretch, where some more challenging ramps lead to the summit.

A very beautiful and recommended road, but extremely popular with motorcyclists: something to bear in mind, as the road is quite narrow in places.

Bella ascesa da Palazzuolo sul Senio fino al passo della Sambuca: più dura nei primi chilometri, poi più facile e regolare fino al tratto finale, dove alcune rampe più impegnative conducono allo scollinamento.

Strada molto bella e consigliata, ma estremamente popolare tra i motociclisti: elemento da tenere presente, visto che in alcuni punti la strada è abbastanza stretta.
