It's a very enjoyable and long climb. The first part, you have a stunning landscape over Como's Lake and Monte Legnone. You can also have the option to follow an alternative shotcut to Castasco as it is out of the main traffic and it looks like a Cycle path.
Once you reached Garzeno (water source), you soon join a fresh and welcoming wood for several kms. The gradient is always regular and comfortable along all the climb.
You find another water source nearby the Adventure Park.
Close to Rifugio Mottafoiada, towards Rifugio San Giovo the road STOPS bein PAVED but has an EXCELLENT surface. Although I used the gravel bike, I perceived the route as comfortably "STRADE BIANCHE", with a smooth gradient and a very smooth and little uneven surface. So it deserves to follow it until the END. The last 2.2 km to PASSO SAN JORIO are more MTB/E-BIKE mood.
Gorgeous climb
