Of course, it should be calculated that to get there, it would be better to climb from Almenno San Salvatore, passing through Roncola or Bedulita.

Una bella salita che da questa parte non è molto difficile e poco trafficata. Naturalmente va calcolato che per arrivarci sarebbe meglio salire da Almenno San Salvatore, passando dalla Roncola o da Bedulita. Prima di arrivare al passo Val Cava, suggerisco una piccola deviazione per il laghetto del Pertus, molto carino.

A climb to be tackled at off-peak times, shady, pleasant, without ever being hard. From Roncola, the panorama opens up to the pre-Alpine valleys of Bergamo. Remarkable possibilities for circular tours in the area.

Salita da affrontare negli orari di minor traffico, ombreggiata, piacevole, senza mai essere dura. Dalla Roncola il panorama si apre alle valli prealpine bergamasche. Notevoli possibilità di giri ad anello in zona.
