The climb is divided into two parts: the first part is on a fairly busy road, not very demanding gradients, you can admire the Norman castle of Ocre. You then reach the junction for Rocca di Mezzo, where you must take the old road for Rocca di Cambio; the climb becomes more demanding, with many bends, and a splendid view of Mount Ocre (2204 metres). There is a fountain with very cool water just above San Martino d'Ocre.
La salita è divisa in due parti: la prima parte è su strada discretamente trafficata, pendenze non molto impegnative, si può ammirare il castello Normanno di Ocre. Si giunge poi al bivio per Rocca di Mezzo, dove bisogna prendere la vecchia strada per Rocca di Cambio; la salita diventa più impegnativa, con molte curve, splendida vista del Monte Ocre (metri 2204). C'è una fontana con acqua molto fresca appena sopra San Martino d'Ocre.
Great long climb from the direction of l'Aquila towards Rocca di Cambio. Quiet roads and fine road surface. It never gets steep so for me it was the perfect last climb of the day after steeper climbs in the area.
