Salita breve ma non banale: i primi 2 km sono i più difficili, con una pendenza media dell'8％, e in realtà il secondo km ha una pendenza media attorno al 10％, con punte al 15％. Il tratto finale è invece più facile, pur con qualche breve tratto più impegnativo.

Asfalto in condizioni discrete: spostandosi verso est le condizioni stradali peggiorano rapidamente, e per esempio già la discesa verso San Pietro e Palesio richiede attenzione. Traffico invece inesistente.
