Una delle belle salite della Valtellina che la unisce alla Val Brembana (BG) Salita lunga e impegnativa solo nella parte iniziale, appena lasciato Morbegno. Passato Albaredo si entra in un bellissimo vallone che termina prima degli ultimi tornanti che portano al passo. Esposta a Nord ha spesso pre... read more

One of the beautiful climbs of the Valtellina that joins it to the Val Brembana (BG)
A long and demanding climb only in the initial part, just after leaving Morbegno. Past Albaredo you enter a beautiful valley that ends before the last hairpin bends leading to the pass.
Exposed to the north, it often has snow until late in the season.
Much frequented by motorcyclists, few cars
Possibility of refreshments at the pass
Water fountain in Albaredo
Ample free parking in Via S.Martino (near the cemetery)

Very long ascent but never particularly steep, the risk is to underestimate the duration and exhaust the bottom of your legs before the summit! Even in summer, always wear a cape and long gloves for the descent, the length of the return can lead to a serious risk of hypothermia!

Classic climb of Valtellina, very long and quite steep at the beginning. Wonderful series of hairpins in the last part. Being an almost 2000mt, it is often quite windy and cold on the top. Very little traffic, even in full summer and mostly motorbikes.

Start from Morbegno. Immediately nice road surface and beautiful uphill through the forest. After Valle Campoerbolo it gets quite steep. Great landscape and with us little traffic. Above 1650 meters it's mainly the cows and goat bells that you hear. Beautiful but steep last part (after a short descent) You should never compare but has Galibier-like character. Narrow top. Long but recommendable climb.
