The approach is not the along the prettiest and safest routes, but once you get to the foot, this is a beautiful yet gentle climb with views of the sea (in the distance) in the beginning and then, once in the forest, the typical Tuscan vistas and villages. It is not a difficult climb with some flatter sections and even descents too, but of course you can make it as tough as you want.

Het aanrijden is niet de langs de mooiste en veiligste routes, maar eenmaal aan de voet aangekomen is dit een mooie en toch rustige klim met in het begin nog uitzicht op zee (in de verte) en daarna, eenmaal in het bos, de typische Toscaanse vergezichten en dorpjes. Het is geen lastige klim met ook wat vlakkere stukken en zelfs afdalingen, maar je kan het natuurlijk zo zwaar maken als je zelf wilt.

Nice climb. First part completely open, making it quite tough in full sun and heat. After the village of Castagneto Carducci until Sassetta, it is mostly covered by trees, making it quite sheltered. 2nd section also has a lot better road for cycling.

Mooie klim. Eerste gedeelte helemaal open, waardoor die aardig zwaar is in de volle zon en hitte. Na het dorp Castagneto Carducci tot Sassetta is het vooral bedekt door bomen, waardoor het aardig beschut is. 2e gedeelte heeft ook een stuk betere weg om te fietsen.

My review is upside/down as I descended this road many times after climbing from Suvereto to Sassetta. But it was worth reviewing as the descent is fantastic. First part is delightful with a broad road, smooth broad curves... after Castagneto it gets a bit more winding with some salire curves. The surface is still good and at this point probably the panorama will keep most of your attention, expecially at sunset! Glorious

A delightful climb towards Fornaci with the toughest part coming first. The first turns up to Castagneto Carducci are the toughest, especially when the sun is shining brightly. After Castagneto you dive into the woods, which gives nice coolness. It can be busy here with cars's driving quite fast.

Een heerlijke klim richting Fornaci waarbij het zwaarste stuk als eerst komt. De eerste bochten tot aan Castagneto Carducci zijn het zwaarst, zeker als de zon volop schijnt. Na Castagneto duik je de bossen in en dat geeft lekkere verkoeling. Het kan hier druk zijn met auto's die behoorlijk door rijden.
