Bella salita che porta nell'alta Valsassina, parte da Dervio, bei panorami sul lago, asfalto in ottime condizioni e pendenza regolare intorno al 7%. Poco traffico. Consigliata

Hele mooie klim om te rijden. Lastig maar prima te doen. Erg afwisselend qua wegdek en uitzichten. Je begint in het dorp Dervio en hebt tijdens de eerste kilometers een mooi zicht op het Comomeer en het dorp. Gaandeweg wordt het wegdek soms wat slechter en de weg smaller. Je rijdt door het bos en passeert meerdere stroompjes en kleine watervalletjes. Laatste kilometer erg mooi kronkelend en weer nieuw asfalt.

Lovely rideable climb that I do every so often, scenic with a view of the lake for the first part, climbing further it enters the valley, beautiful scenery. The road generally has little traffic. A few rare stretches are narrow so you have to watch out for cars.

Bella salita pedalabile che faccio ognitanto, panoramica con vista sul lago per la prima parte, salendo ulteriormente entra nella valle, bel paesaggio. La strada in genere è poco trafficata. Qualche raro tratto è stretto per cui si deve fare attenzione all'arrivo di macchine.

Love this climb - very quiet road. Da Gigi is an amazing place for lunch if you make it all the way to Margno

It is a nice climb. I incorporated it into a longer flat ride around the lake. Then went form Derivo, up the climb, along the valley and back down to Bellano before getting the boat back from Varenna to my hotel. It is long but never too steep. Most of the road is ok with a few rough patches. Very little traffic. You go through a few small villages but I did not see anywhere to buy food. There was a water fountain at the base of the climb in Derivo.
