After Chesio there is little traffic but the village at the end of the climb: Alpe Loccia, is popular and the road is in poor condition and narrow so crossing vehicles is not ideal.

The climb to Chesio is pleasant on some switchbacks. Chesio is an attractive Italian mountain village. After Chesio there is little traffic but the village at the end of the climb: Alpe Loccia, is popular and the road is in poor condition and narrow so crossing vehicles is not ideal. Note: the road to Luzzogno is not surfaced. After the junction the climb gets serious. The road surface is not great and the climb is a series of steep ramps then flats that are not visible in the profile. On the second half there is a kilometer of 17％ which is very difficult. The climb is in woods until the end where there is a view point over the mountains. You can continue on a dirt road to Alpe Loccia or further on a mountainbike.
