On the plus side, the tarmac is incredibly smooth and the road is wide. On the downside, it certainly feels like a motorway, and above all, the exposure to the sun is a real issue. Don’t call it the Monteceneri Pass, as that’s an insult to the other Swiss mountain passes. It’s particularly challenging because of the stifling heat.... read more

Aspetto positivo l’asfalto incredibilmente perfetto e l’ampiezza della strada. Cose negative sicuramente che sembra essere in autostrada e soprattutto destate l’esposizione al sole. Non chiamatelo passo del monteceneri perché è un insulto agli altri passi svizzeri. Impegnativo soprattutto per il caldo soffocante

Road in good condition, not worth it as a destination but I have always used it as a means of passage to go elsewhere, the view is not special and it is very busy

Strada in buone condizioni, non vale la pena come destinazione ma l ho sempre usato come mezzo di passaggio per andare altrove, la vista non è speciale ed è molto trafficato

Not too difficult, but with too much traffic because it is the only direct road linking the north and south of the Canton Ticino (with the highway obviously prohibited to cyclists).
If you are in the area, better to choose Revöira or the Monti di Calmagnone nearby.

The ascent to the Monte Ceneri pass would be pretty in itself, were it not for the fact that it is a very wide road with little Alpine and much motorway flavour.

La salita al passo di Monte Ceneri sarebbe carina di per sé, se non fosse che è uno stradone larghissimo dal sapore poco alpino e molto autostradale.
