Nice, shady climb with little traffic. The Loana valley is so typically valley-shaped that it looks like the typical valley you see in school books to explain what a valley is.
Bella salita ombrosa e con traffico scarso. La valle Loana è una valle dalla forma così tipicamente di valle, che sembra la tipica valle che si vede sui libri di scuola per spiegare cos'è una valle.
This climb leads from Malesco to Fondo li Gabbi in Val Loana on a very quiet road with decent tarmac that does contain some bad patches here and there though. There are no tunnels on the way. You're basically in thick forest the whole time, so don't expect nice views.
If you start your climb in Canobbio and get to Malesco via Passo dello Scopello (like I did), the entire climb is over 1000m of total ascent.
