A lovely climb up a quiet road up the hill at Varallo Pombia, alongside the River Ticino. The middle section is the toughest, with two short straights, before reaching the final stretch where there are two hairpin bends that help you pick up the pace. Recommended climb... read more

A lovely climb up a quiet road up the hill at Varallo Pombia, alongside the River Ticino.

Recommended climb

Bella salita che sale su strada tranquilla la collina di Varallo Pombia lungo il Ticino.
La parte centrale è la più dura con due brevi rettilinei per poi entrare nella parte finale dove ci sono sue tornanti che aiutano a rilanciare l'andatura.

Very nice climb on a quiet road. Definitely one of the most beautiful in the hill country here to cycle towards the lakes.

Zeer mooie klim op een rustige weg. Zeker een van de mooiste in het heuvelland hier om richting de meren te fietsen.

The "Piccolo Mortirolo" is really a dinguery if you want to do split and intensity training. The ziz-zag of the mountain path is extremely strenuous, but the climb is difficult.

« Piccolo Mortirolo » vraiment une dinguerie si vous voulez faire du fractionné et des intensités. Le ziz-zag façon chemin de montagne et ultra pénible mais la montée est difficile.

Short climb known in the area as "Piccolo Mortirolo". Cracking start with double-digit gradients, then alternating moments of tranquillity with sudden surges.
Excellent training.

Breve salita conosciuta nella zona come "Piccolo Mortirolo". Partenza spaccagambe con pendenze a doppia cifra, poi alterna momenti di tranquillità con impennate improvvise.
Ottimo allenamento.
