Hele mooie en lange klim. Uitzicht over het landschap is echt fantastisch. 37km klimmen waarbij de percentages niet al te stijl worden. Puur genieten.

taken from the Dorgali side during a mtb tour, it offers exceptional views, towards Supramonte up to Gennargentu, has good road surfaces but a fair amount of tourist traffic (motorbikes and campers at weekends and in summer)

intrapresa dalla parte di Dorgali durante un giro in mtb, offre panorami eccezionali, verso il Supramonte fino al Gennargentu, presenta manto stradale buono ma un discreto traffico turistico (moto e camper nei weekend e nei periodi estivi)

A road that smacks of the epic as it goes deeper and deeper into seemingly remote areas (we are actually on the SS125, a major artery). No villages, few bars, water in summer not even in your dreams. Gentle slopes, but you have to reckon with the length. If you have time, there are at least four very nice detours (I'm talking mtc). Recommended!

Strada che sa di epico addentrandosi sempre più in zone apparentemente sperdute (in realtà siamo sulla SS125, un’arteria importante). Nessun paese, scarsi bar, acqua in estate neanche in sogno. Pendenze lievi ma c’è da fare i conti con la lunghezza. Volendo, per chi abbia tempo ci sono almeno quattro detour molti belli (parlo di mtc). Raccomandata!

A beautiful climb mainly because of the scenery, I did it starting from Baunei, by MTB and arriving at Genna Silana where I took the path to the Gorroppu canyon, a must for freeride MTB enthusiasts; talking about the climb, it is very long but not very steep, once you get to Genna Sartene more or less for the Urzulei junction, it flattens out quite a bit and becomes a false flat with numerous semi-galleries, although they are open it is absolutely recommended to use a rear light; the views towards the valley and the canyon are probably among the most beautiful in Sardinia.

Una bella salita principalmente grazie al paesaggio, l'ho fatta partendo da Baunei, in MTB e arrivando a Genna Silana dove ho intrapreso il sentiero per il canyon di Gorroppu, imperdibile per gli amanti della MTB freeride; parlando della salita, è molto lunga ma poco pendente, arrivati a Genna Sartene più o meno per lo svincolo di Urzulei, spiana parecchio e diventa un falsopiano con numerose semi-gallerie, nonostante siano aperte è assolutamente consigliato un faretto posteriore; le viste verso la vallata e il canyon sono probabilmente tra le più belle della Sardegna.
