A demanding and fairly continuous climb in the Cairasca side valley. You arrive at San Domenico, much more popular in winter than in summer. A beautiful climb, I leave three stars only because it pales a little in the face of competition from other stupendous climbs in the Ossola.... read more

A demanding and fairly continuous climb in the Cairasca side valley. You arrive at San Domenico, much more popular in winter than in summer. A beautiful climb, I leave three stars only because it pales a little in the face of competition from other stupendous climbs in the Ossola.

Bella salita impegnativa e abbastanza continua, nella lateraleval Cairasca. Si arriva a San Domenico, molto più frequentata d'inverno che d'estate. Bella salita, lascio tre stelle solo perché impallidisce un poco di fronte alla concorrenza di altre stupende salite nell'Ossola.
