The pre-Alpine area of Biella hides little gems among which the climb under review should be counted. It is a short climb but hides quite a few pitfalls due to the gradients it offers the cyclist who tries to tackle it. I will say right away: I do not recommend doing it in the summer or on very hot days. It's all in the sun except for the final part where you descend (Colma) and it is all exposed to the south. Leaving the provincial road from Brusnengo towards Curino, you take a small road ... read more

The pre-Alpine area of Biella hides little gems among which the climb under review should be counted. It is a short climb but hides quite a few pitfalls due to the gradients it offers the cyclist who tries to tackle it. I will say right away: I do not recommend doing it in the summer or on very hot days. It's all in the sun except for the final part where you descend (Colma) and it is all exposed to the south. Leaving the provincial road from Brusnengo towards Curino, you take a small road to the left and after a short flat section, the fairly tough spectacle begins. Before arriving at San Bononio there are two twists and turns with a section with gradients close to 10％ and beyond, and after San Bononio there are more twists and turns and a long straight stretch that is always hard before reaching the Colma. The road then continues almost flat for a while before heading downhill towards Baltigati and then descending to take the provincial road to Valle Mosso or Pray.

La zona prealpina del biellese nasconde delle piccole perle tra cui va annoverata la salita in recensione. Si tratta di una salita breve ma nasconde non poche insidie per le pendenze che offre al ciclista che prova ad affrontarla. Premetto subito: sconsiglio di farla in estate o comunque in giornate molto calde. E' tutta al sole tranne la parte finale ove si scollina (Colma) ed è esposta tutta a sud. Lasciando la provinciale da Brusnengo verso Curino si prende una stradina sulla sinistra e dopo un breve tratto pianeggiante, inizia lo spettacolo di discreta durezza. Prima di arrivare a San Bononio si affrontano due tortnanti con un tratto con pendenze prossime al 10％ e oltre e dopo San Bononio ci sono ancora tronanti e un lungo rettilineo sempre duro prima di raggiungere la Colma. La strada poi prosegue quasi pianeggiante per un po' prima di intraprendere la discesa verso Baltigati e poi scendere a prendere la provinciale per Valle Mosso o Pray.
