A challenging climb in places. On the initial stretch from the lake to the junction for Poppino, and then on the less busy section with wide hairpin bends leading to Poppino, the road crests the hill just past a roundabout in the centre of the village, where there is also a drinking fountain. On the first section of the climb, the tarmac was in rather poor condition (there is even a stretch of porphyry) and, with heavy traffic, it becomes extremely tiresome to have to remain constantly alert and... read more

A challenging climb in places. On the initial stretch from the lake to the junction for Poppino, and then on the less busy section with wide hairpin bends leading to Poppino, the road crests the hill just past a roundabout in the centre of the village, where there is also a drinking fountain. On the first section of the climb, the tarmac was in rather poor condition (there is even a stretch of porphyry) and, with heavy traffic, it becomes extremely tiresome to have to remain constantly alert and be annoyed by the cars whizzing past. From the Poppino junction onwards, the traffic thins out, but so does the carriageway in some sections. Continuing on, the road descends with a slight dip before climbing again to Dumenza and Due Cossani, from where you can reach Agra, Pradecolo or Curiglia.

Salita impegnativa a tratti. In quello iniziale che dal lago fino al bivio per Poppino e poi nel tratto meno trafficato che a tornanti larghi porta a Poppino, scollinando poco oltre una rotonda nel centro della località dove è anxhe posizionata una fontanella. Nel primo tratto di salita l'asfalto era piuttosto malmesso (c'è anchenun tratto in porfido) e col traffico intenso diventa oltremodo fastidioso restare perennemente concentrati e infastiditi dagli autoveicoli che sfrecciano. Dal bivio Poppino in poi il traffico si riduce ma anche la sede stradale in alcuni trqtti. Proseguendo, la strada scende facendo un rimbalzo per poi salire a Dumenza e Due Cossani, da cui si può raggiungere Agra, Pradecolo o Curiglia.
