I can only join you!
Absolutely lonely and away from the hustle and bustle of the Splügen Pass. The serpentines are very narrow and spectacularly cut into the rocky slope. The panorama over Chiavenna and St Giacomo is also worthwhile. However, the ascent - especially in the middle section - is not without its difficulties - longer passages with double-digit gradients are not uncommon.

Kann mich nur anschließen!
Absolut einsam und ab vom Trubel des Splügen Passes. Die Serpentinen sind sehr eng und spektakulär in den Steinhang geschnittenen. Ebenso das Panorama über Chiavenna und St Giacomo ist allemal lohnenswert. Der Anstieg - gerade im Mittelteil - ist aber auch nicht ohne - längere Passagen mit zweistelligere Steigungsprozente sind nicht selten.

In the traditionally Catholic Italy, you will encounter dozens of churches while cycling on the large mountain passes. Not only along the main road but you can even spot them high up on the valley slopes and on top of mountain ridges.
This hidden climb connects about 3 churches in small villages on the western flank of the Passo dello Spluga.
The route starts at the left turn (signpost S. Bernardo/Olmo) after hairpin bend no. 4 a few kilometres outside Chiavenna.
It starts with a steep uphill slope, initially passing through an inhabited part of San Giacomo Filippo. Afterwards the narrow road winds wonderfully through the trees upwards with beautiful views. The first 18 hairpin bends (numbers painted on the rock face) bring you to the church of Olmo. After a short recovery descent to the hydroelectric power station and 2 climbing curves, you cycle through the small village centre with the church of San Bernardo.
Panoramic ending Scanabecco you reach again in 8 hairpin bends where the asphalt road stops on a parking lot a few hundred metres from the San Rocco church.

Practical:
There is only rare resident traffic.
Apart from my wife (electric MTB), we didn't encounter any pedalling colleagues. Judging by the reactions, they are rare there.
Apart from a few springs, there is nothing to refresh you.
The asphalt is not always perfect.

If you have spent the previous day in the midst of the Splugen Pass traffic, this is a relief.
Highly recommended, this hidden gem!!!!

In het traditioneel katholieke Italië kom je fietsend op de grote bergpassen tientallen kerkjes tegen. Niet alleen vlak langs de grote weg maar je kan ze zelfs spotten bezijden hoog op de valleiflanken en boven op bergkammen.
Deze verborgen klim verbind zo'n 3 kerkjes in kleine dorpjes op de westelijke flank van de Passo dello Spluga.
De route start bij de linkse afslag (wegwijzer S.Bernardo/ Olmo) na haarspeldbocht nr. 4 enkele kilometers buiten Chiavenna.
Ouverture steil omhoog, aanvankelijk nog even door een bewoond gedeelte van San Giacomo Filippo. Nadien slingert de smalle weg zich wondermooi door de bomen omhoog met prachtige vergezichten. De eerste 18 haarspeldbochten (geschilderde nummers op rotswand) brengen je tot het kerkje van Olmo. Na een korte recuperatieafdaling tot de hydro elektrische centrale en 2 klimbochten fiets je door de kleine dorpskern met kerkje van San Bernardo.
Panoramisch eindpunt Scanabecco bereik je weer haarspeldbocht gewijs (8 stuks) alwaar de asfaltweg stopt op een parking enkele honderden meters van het San Rocco kerkje.

Praktisch:
Er is alleen zeldzaam bewonersverkeer.
Buiten mijn vrouw (elektrisch MTB) zijn we geen trappende collega's tegengekomen. Aan de reacties te zien zijn die daar zeldzaam.
Buiten enkele bronnetjes is er niets om je te bevoorraden.
Het asfalt is niet altijd even onberispelijk.

Als je de dag voordien tussen de verkeersdrukte van de Splugenpas hebt gehangen is dit een verademing.
Aanrader, deze verborgen parel!!!!
