Personally, I didn't really enjoy the climb. In fact, I used this pass to do a 30-minute test and try to beat the KOM of 28'20". I climbed it in 30'01" perfect for my test. But I didn't take advantage and, above all, didn't suffer. Nevertheless, the gradients are really gentle and if you take it easy, it can be really nice and not too long. It's still 13 kms! A very good test for all levels.... read more

Personnelement je n'ai pas vraiment profité de cette montée. En effet j'ai utilisé ce col pour faire un test de 30 minutes et tenter de battre le KOM de 28'20". Je l'ai monté en 30'01" parfait pour mon test. Mais donc étant à bloc, je n'ai pas profité et surtout souffert. Néanmoins les pourcentages sont vraiment doux et si on le fait tranquille ça peut être vraiment sympa et pas si long. C'est quand même 13 kms ! Très bon test pour tout niveau.

Easy climb, but long. Wide, well asphalted road, many motorbikes in transit. Wonderful view of the Subequana valley and Monte Sirente. On arrival at Forca Caruso there are several wind turbines and cattle farms.

Salita facile, ma lunga. Strada larga e ben asfaltata, molte moto in transito. Splendida visuale della valle Subequana e del Monte Sirente. All'arrivo a Forca Caruso ci sono diverse pale eoliche e allevamenti di bovini.
