The climb begins in Leonessa, a very picturesque village; the first part is easy and rideable. Then we enter the beech forest and the gradients are fairly challenging; the section through the forest is long and shady. The last stretch, without the beech forest, is quite demanding; we arrive just below the summit of Terminillo.... read more

A beautiful climb, it looks like a small Dolomite pass, especially coming out of the forest when you catch a glimpse of the summit of Terminillo to the right and the road above to the left, with the hairpin bends still to go. You need to be trained to climb to the Sella.

Bellissima salita, sembra un piccolo passo dolomitico soprattutto uscendo dal bosco quando si intravede la cima del Terminillo a destra e la strada in alto a sx, con i tornanti ancora percorrere. Serve essere allenati per salire alla Sella.

La salita inizia da Leonessa, paese molto pittoresco; la prima parte è facile e pedalabile. Poi si entra nella faggeta e le pendenze sono discretamente impegnative; il tratto nel bosco è lungo ed ombroso. L'ultimo tratto, senza faggeta, è abbastanza impegnativo; si arriva appena sotto alla vetta del Terminillo.
