This climb is really tough, and, leaving aside the last kilometre, even before that in two places the gradients touch 16％, while after Monte it never drops below 10％ and has peaks of 22％, do not be fooled by the signs because the first one is placed 600m before the finish line, where there is still a straight stretch under the trees, a hairpin bend, and the last 200m. In my opinion this is the best climb in the area... read more

Questa salita è veramente dura, e, tralasciando l'ultimo Km anche prima in due punti le pendenze toccano il 16％, mentre dopo Monte non scende mai sotto il 10％ e ha punte del 22％, bisogna non farsi ingannare dai cartelli perchè il primo è posto 600m prima dell'arrivo, dove manca ancora un rettilineo sotto gli alberi, un tornante, e gli ultimi 200m.
Secondo me questa è la salita migliore della zona

An excellent climb that begins quite well. Suddenly a huge wall of 20％ on the last kilometer which was truly difficult

A demanding climb with the steepest gradients in the finale when one starts to get tired. To make it even tougher, it can be combined with a start from Lesa, which lengthens it by 3km

Salita esigente che presenta le pendenze più decise nel finale quando uno inizia ad essere stanco. Per renderla ancora più dura si può abbinare con partenza da Lesa, cosa che l'allunga di 3km
