Road names: Strada statale della Val Vigezzo & SP75

The road from Masera to Druogno has a lot of traffic on it, at times it's a bit narrow and cars drive quite fast. Still, I thought it was doable by bicycle. There is one long (1.4km) and steep tunnel (see pictures), that's fine by bicycle as it's well lit and there is space next to the road for bicycles. After Druogno, you reach theVal Vigezzo and there the road is wide and flat for a few km. The final climb from Malesco to the pass is quiet and lovely through the forest. ... read more

Very heavy traffic, very tight road, not a pleasant drive. 1.5km tunnel 9% uphill so very poor. Only the last couple of km are ok, from the moment the national road turns sideways. Downhill on the other side definitely pleasant.

Bardzo duży ruch samochodowy, bardzo ciasna drogą, nie jedzie się przyjemnie. 1.5km tunel 9% podjazdu więc bardzo słabo. Jedynie ostatnie parę km jest ok, od momentu gdy krajowka odbije w bok. Zjazd z drugiej strony zdecydowanie przyjemny.

Leaving aside the last 3 km, which are very pleasant with little traffic and relatively low gradients except for the last 500 m, I did not like the rest because of the traffic, especially up to Druogno where there is the 1.5 km-long Paiesco tunnel where there is a space for bicycles on the jump, while on the descent there is gravel in that space, which is therefore inaccessible, but it bothered me a little to go less than 30 seconds without being overtaken by a car.

Tralasciando gli ultimi 3 Km che sono molto piacevoli con poco traffico e pendenze relativamente basse ad eccezione degli ultimi 500 m, il resto non mi è piaciuto a causa del traffico, soprattutto fino a Druogno dove c'è la galleria di Paiesco lunga 1,5 Km dove in salta c'è uno spazio per le bici, in discesa invece in quello spazio c'è ghiaia quindi inaccessibile, però a me ha dato un po' fastidio stare neanche 30 secondi senza essere sorpassato da un'auto.
