The section continuing to the left of the Boden Sanctuary to the Steit Alp is divided into two sections: the one up to the barrier (the subject of this review) and the one afterwards. The difficulties of this section can be attributed to two circumstances: how fast one went from Ornavasso to the sanctuary and the last section of this segment, which has gradients of between 12 and 14% near the double hairpin bend before the barrier, with a few small stretches to rest where the gradient briefly ... read more

The section continuing to the left of the Boden Sanctuary to the Steit Alp is divided into two sections: the one up to the barrier (the subject of this review) and the one afterwards. The difficulties of this section can be attributed to two circumstances: how fast one went from Ornavasso to the sanctuary and the last section of this segment, which has gradients of between 12 and 14% near the double hairpin bend before the barrier, with a few small stretches to rest where the gradient briefly drops below 10%. In the final stretch of the ascent, two explosive depots for quarries pass by and on the very day I tackled the climb there was also an army armoured car. A treat that I have never seen on other cycling tours. The first section is quite manageable with slopes that are never challenging. As you climb, you enter the forest and enter a dimension of silence and "out of time" a time when you can only hear the water of the stream and the sounds of the bike and your body in the effort of the climb. I would like to point out that after the barrier and in particular after the bridge over the stream, the music changes completely because the climb becomes super tough with 1.5 kilometres at an average 14% to the Steit Alp where the asphalt ends at a small widening. The road from that point becomes unpaved but not practicable with a bdc. At certain points, the gradient is well over 20%...

Il tratto che prosegue a sinistra del santuario del Boden per l'alpe Steit si divide in due tratti: quello fino alla sbarra (oggetto della recensione) e quello successivo. Le difficoltà di questo tratto sono ascrivibili a due circostanze: quanto si è andati forte nel tratto da Ornavasso al Santuario e l'ultimo tratto di questo segmento che presenta in prossimità del doppio tornante prima della sbarra pendenze che oscillano tra il 12 e il 14% con qualche piccolo tratto per rifiatare ove la pendenza scende per un breve tratto sotto il 10%. Nel tratto terminale dell'ascesa si sfiorano due depositi di esplosivo per le cave e proprio nel giorno in cui ho affrontato la salita c'era anche un blindato dell'esercito. Una chicca che non mi era mai capitato di vedere in altre gite ciclistiche. Il primo tratto è invece abbastanza abbordabile con pendenze mai impegnative. Man mano che si sale, ci si inoltra nel bosco e si entra in una dimensione di silenzio e di "fuori dal tempo", un momento in cui si sente solo l'acqua del torrentello e i rumori della bici e del proprio corpo nello sforzo della salita. Mi preme precisare che dopo la sbarra ed in particolare dopo il ponte sul torrente, la musica cambia completamente perché l'ascesa diventa super tosta con 1,5 km al 14% medio fino all'alpe Steit dove l'asfalto termina in corrispondenza di un piccolo slargo. La strada da quel punto diventa sterrata ma non percorribile con una bdc. In certi frangenti la pendenza è ampiamente superiore al 20%...

✏️ A very little-known and undiscovered climb from the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Boden, immersed in the forest and almost deserted.
Curiosity: along the per bear, one encounters deposits of explosives, probably used in the nearby quarries.

✏️ Salita pochissimo conosciuta e tutta da scoprire che prosegue dal Santuario della Madonna del Boden, immersa nel bosco e pressoché deserta.
Curiosità: lungo il per orso si incontrano dei depositi di esplosivi, probabilmente utilizzati nelle vicine cave.
