The climb to the Campotenese pass (where the Catasta, the Pollno multipurpose centre, is located further on) begins outside the town of Castrovillari, passes through Morano Calabro and ends at an altitude of 1,000 metres near a tunnel. The climb is very beautiful and rideable except for a couple of stretches where the gradient becomes steeper, the road surface is excellent and leaving Morano the climb becomes panoramic over the surrounding area, there is little traffic.... read more

La salita al valico di Campotenese (dove più avanti è presente la Catasta, il centro polifunzionale del Pollno), inizia da fuori l'abitato di Castrovillari, attraversa Morano Calabro e si conclude a quota 1.000 m nei pressi di un galleria. La salita è molto bella e pedalabile tranne in un paio di tratti in cui la pendenza si fa più dura, il fondo stradale è ottimo e uscendo da Morano la salita diventa panoramica sul territorio circostante, c'è poco traffico.
