I started directly from Argegno (junction for Scichignano) and continued through San Fedele d'Intelvi to Balcone d'Italia. The first part is very nice, a road with little traffic and quiet and you arrive at Castiglioni d'Intelvi, with an average gradient of 7％; then from there to Lanzo d'Intelvi is a provincial road that is a little boring and busy with an average gradient of 5/6％. The last 5 km, on the other hand, are very beautiful and with a higher average. So from Argegno it is about 26 km. The time shown below is that of the last 5 km. PS: going down to Argegno, go as far as Ossuccio: there is a peculiar bell tower on the lakeside. PS2: very busy lakeside road.
17/7/2024 - Io sono partito direttamente da Argegno (bivio per Scichignano) e proseguendo per San Fedele d'Intelvi sino a Balcone d'Italia. Il primo pezzo è molto carino, strada poco trafficata e tranquilla e si arriva a Castiglioni d'Intelvi, con una pendenza media del 7％; poi da li sino a Lanzo d'Intelvi è una provinciale un po' noiosa e trafficata con una media sul 5/6％. Gli ultimi 5 km invece sono molto belli e con media più elevata. Quindi da Argegno sono circa 26 km. Il tempo riportato sotto è quello degli ultimi 5 km. PS: scendendo ad Argegno spingetevi sino ad Ossuccio: c'è un campanile particolare sul lungolago. PS2: strada del lungo lago molto trafficata.
Beautiful climb with enchanting views. Very strange that the end point is hardly signposted along the way, or maybe just as well because as a result we hardly had any traffic during the ascent. The forest provides wonderful cooling along the way. Especially the last 2 kilometres, the road surface is abominable at times, so watch out on the descent!
Prachtige klim met een betoverend uitzicht. Heel vreemd dat het eindpunt onderweg nauwelijks staat aangegeven, of misschien maar goed ook want daardoor hadden wij tijdens de opgang nauwelijks verkeer. Het bos geeft onderweg heerlijke verkoeling. Vooral de laatste 2 kilometer is het wegdek af en toe wel abominabel, dus inderdaad uitkijken bij de afdaling!
One of the most beautiful panoramas you can admire in Lombardy, with a view of Lake Lugano.
Not perfect asphalt, be careful going downhill
Cheers
Uno dei più bei panorami che si possono ammirare in Lombardia, con vista sul lago di Lugano.
Asfalto non perfetto, attenzione in discesa
Cheers
