One of my favourite climbs. Val bodengo always at the top!
Una delle salite che preferisco. Val bodengo sempre al top!
A great climb that needs to be divided into two parts: 1. to Donadivo: steep but constant ascent through the forest 2. to Bodengo: irregular gradients, but a beautiful stretch where you almost forget that you're going uphill. With a gravel bike, you can also continue to Corte Terza, a beautiful little Alpine settlement.
Toller Anstieg, der in zwei Teile geteilt werden muss: 1. Bis Donadivo: Steiler aber konstanter Anstieg durch den Wald 2. Bis Bodengo: Unregelmäßigkeiten Steigungen, aber wunderschöne Strecke, bei der man fast vergisst, dass es bergauf geht. Mit dem Gravelbike kann man auch weiter bis Corte Terza fahren, einer schönen kleinen Alpsiedlung.

Halfway there is flattening and in the final section the road runs beautifully above deep river gorge via semi-open galleries along steep rock faces and a long bridge over it. Last kilometres, the mountain river reappears right next to the road until the terminus in Bodengo with houses around a little church surrounded by high mountain peaks.
You can continue climbing and cycling for another 500m but that's where the tarmac stops for good.
Practical:
Varying road surface quality but nowhere disastrous.
Food and drink at the start and some springs along the way.
Gordona can be reached traffic-free via the Ciclabile della Valchiavenna (arrowed cycle path between Lake Como and Switzerland).
Very nice climb with very spicy start and and pure mountain nature ending!!!
Een van de vele klimroutes op de westflank van het brede Mera rivierdal even buiten Chiavenna gefietst juni 2025.
Je start door de woonwijk Gordona met de eerste haarspeldbochten. Bij de wegversmalling fietst men de schaduw van het woud in, is er amper nog verkeer en bewoning,maar worden de percentages enkele kilometers
+ 10 pct.
Halfweg is er afvlakking en in het slotdeel loopt de weg prachtig boven diepe rivierkloof via half open gaanderijen langs steile rotswanden en een lange brug erover. Laatste kilometers duikt de bergrivier terug vlak naast de weg op tot het eindpunt in Bodengo met huizen rond een kerkje omgeven door hoge bergpieken.
Je kan nog 500 m. verder klimmen en fietsen maar daar stopt het asfalt dan ook definitief.
Praktisch:
Wisselende wegdekkwaliteit maar nergens desastreus.
Eten en drinken bij de start en enkele bronnen onderweg.
Gordona is via de Ciclabile della Valchiavenna (gepijlt fietspad tussen Comomeer en Zwitserland) verkeersvrij te bereiken.
Heel mooie klim met heel pittig begin en en puur bergnatuur slot!!!
