Easy and pleasant climb, at the start the view of the old town is picture postcard. There is only a short stretch that is more demanding, the rest is quite relaxing. Nice descent towards Toirano.... read more

Easy and pleasant climb, at the start the view of the old town is picture postcard. There is only a short stretch that is more demanding, the rest is quite relaxing. Nice descent towards Toirano.

Salita facile e piacevole, all'inizio il panorama sul borgo vecchio è da cartolina. C'è solo un breve tratto più impegnativa, il resto è abbastanza rilassante. Bella discesa verso Toirano.

Easier way up poggio grande, the road is still very smooth and almost trafficless. The final stretch to the top is easier but with bad road and sometimes gravel
