The Pian del Lupo was in the 2019 Giro (I found out at the top). It is a very nice climb with two faces. The first two thirds of the climb are quite easy and run along a wide but quiet road. It never gets really steep here and you are continuously treated to views into the valley. In the village of ... read more

I have nothing to add to Jeroen's description, a perfect depiction of the climb.

The Pian del Lupo was in the 2019 Giro (I found out at the top). It is a very nice climb with two faces. The first two thirds of the climb are quite easy and run along a wide but quiet road. It never gets really steep here and you are continuously treated to views into the valley. In the village of Frasinetto, you can refill your water bottles. You can do that at many places, so a water bottle will do fine.
After the village, the fun stops and the walls begin. Don't be fooled by the average values in the picture. Some parts of the climb are over 20 km/h. After that, it flattens out a bit. Then it levels off a bit and the party starts all over again. This continues to the top and I found it quite a plough. At the top, you have a fantastic view of the valley. A little past the top, you will find a toilet hut and an opportunity to buy an ice cream. The descent is fine, but you cannot go very fast because of the narrow road. If you are in the area and looking for a nice climb, one of the variants of this climb will fit perfectly into your tour.
