There is nothing at the top other than a closed hotel and a summit sign (which seems to be about 1km short of the summit). The descent off the other side is fantastic and looks to be a tougher climb.... read more

Relatively easy climb in a very pretty setting. Good asphalt. The descent towards Pacentro is also very nice.

Relatief eenvoudige klim in een zeer fraai decor. Goed asfalt. De afdaling richting Pacentro is ook erg mooi.
