Start is easy, then it gets a bit steeper towards the top. Nice view over the vineyards. There is a picnic area just before the top where you can take a breather.... read more

This is one of the most famous climbs in the hills, both because of its length (there are not many that climb so gradually on a wide road) and the fact that it starts from Galzignano, which is a town on the eastern side of the hills that is fairly easy to reach.
The first stretch is still between the houses of the village, but the gradient gradually increases until a considerable 12％ when the first bends in the woods are reached. From there on, the climb becomes regular and medium, on a wide and scenic road, until a few hundred metres from the summit, when the slope becomes really gentle.
At the summit, one is spoilt for choice as to which direction to take. To the left you go towards the Roverello pass, with a scarce kilometre of rather challenging road. To the right is the south side of Roccolo, which, however, as of today (March 2025) is closed due to a landslide. Going straight on, we descend towards Fontanafredda with four kilometres of beautiful descent, with technical bends, beautiful views and smooth asphalt.

Una delle salite più famose dei colli, sia per la lunghezza (non se ne trovano molte che salgono così gradualmente su strada ampia) che il fatto di partire da Galzignano, che è un paese sul lato orientale dei colli piuttosto facile da raggiungere.
Il primo tratto è ancora tra le case del paese, ma la pendenza cresce progressivamente sino ad un ragguardevole 12％ quando si raggiungono le prime curve nel bosco. Da lì in poi la salita torna regolare e di medio impegno, su strada ampia e panoramica, fino a poche centinaia di metri dal culmine, quando l'inclinazione diventa veramente leggera.
In cima c'è l'imbarazzo della scelta per la direzione da prendere. A sinistra si va verso il passo Roverello, con un chilometro scarso di strada piuttosto impegnativo. A destra si inizia il lato Sud del Roccolo, che però ad oggi (Marzo 2025) è chiuso per una frana. Proseguendo dritti si scende verso Fontanafredda con quattro chilometri di discesa bellissima, con curve tecniche, bel panorama e asfalto regolare.

A beautiful climb, the easy start in the village of Galzignano allows you to get into the right rhythm for the more difficult part of the climb that comes immediately after leaving the village. The final part flattens out and gives you time to enjoy the beautiful panorama. An excellent starting point for more demanding climbs, such as the Roccolo.

Bella salita, l'inizio facile nell'abitato di Galzignano ti permette di prendere il giusto ritmo per la parte più difficile della salita che arriva subito dopo l'uscita dal paese. La parte finale spiana e ti da il tempo di goderti il bellissimo panorama. Ottimo punto di partenza per salite più impegnative, come il Roccolo.

Start is easy, then it gets a bit steeper towards the top. Nice view over the vineyards. There is a picnic area just before the top where you can take a breather.

Start is rustig, dan wordt het even pittiger richting de top. Mooi uitzicht over de wijngaarden. Er is vlak voor de top een picknickplaatsje waar je kan uitblazen.
