This is one of the "minor" roads leading to the Penice massif. The first part, as far as Menconico, is fairly insignificant; from the village of Menconico everything changes. Inclines in "double digits" and even well over 13. A few metres of breathing space, a break at a beautiful fountain in the Carrobbiolo locality, and we begin again as far as the Scaparina Pass. Here, where no less than five roads converge, there is a bar offering gigantic sandwiches.... read more

This is one of the "minor" roads leading to the Penice massif. The first part, as far as Menconico, is fairly insignificant; from the village of Menconico everything changes. Inclines in "double digits" and even well over 13. A few metres of breathing space, a break at a beautiful fountain in the Carrobbiolo locality, and we begin again as far as the Scaparina Pass.

Si tratta di una delle strade "minori" che portano al massiccio del Penice. La prima parte, sino a Menconico, è abbastanza insignificante; dall'abitato di quest'ultimo cambia tutto. Pendenze in "doppia cifra" e anche ben oltre il 13. Qualche metro di respiro, un intervallo ad una bella fontana in località Carrobbiolo, e si ricomincia fino al Passo Scaparina. Qui, dove confluiscono ben 5 strade, si trova un bar che regala panini giganteschi.
