I did it yesterday (19 May 26). The climb would be good, unfortunately the road surface is bad and the constant breaks take away a lot of the poetry, too bad. However, the first 4 km are a bit challenging, without excesses, then it goes smoothly. P.S. The section from Lanzo to Balcone d'Italia has recently been paved!... read more

L'ho fatta ieri (19 maggio 26).
La salita sarebbe valida, purtroppo il fondo stradale è pessimo e le continue interruzioni tolgono molto della poesia, peccato.
Comunque, i primi 4 km sono un po' impegnativi, senza eccessi, poi si va tranquilli.
P.S E' stato asfaltato da poco il tratto che da Lanzo porta al Balcone d'Italia!!!

Climbed up from Argegno on Lake Como on a hot sunny day. Not much shade for the first 5 km or so. Carried on towards the Balcone d’Italia - but the road was closed above Lanzo D’Intelvi for repair - so I went to the Belvedere instead.

Pass 'obligatory' to enter the Val d'Intelvi, excellent roadway, initially busy, more aggressive gradients in the first 4 km, but without forcing too much you can enjoy the beautiful surrounding hills.

Passo 'obbligato' per entrare nella val d'intelvi, ottima sede stradale, inizialmente trafficato, pendenze più aggressive nei primi 4 km, ma senza forzare troppo si può godere delle bellissime colline circostanti.

Nice climb with great descent afterwards with good road surface. Goes quietly uphill without being very steep.

Mooie klim met geweldige afdaling daarna met goed wegdek. Loopt rustig door naar boven zonder dat het echt heel steil gaat worden.
