A challenging and varied climb that starts off through lovely vineyards before getting properly tough in a wooded area. The climb then turns into a valley where you’ll cycle through a number of (short) tunnels, so don’t forget your bike lights! Eventually, you’ll turn into a lovely green alpine meadow, with Vercorin visible in the distance ahead of you. A truly beautiful climb that’s definitely worth a go!... read more

Pittige en afwisselende klim die eerst mooi door wijnvelden gaat en daarna pittig aantrekt in een bosrijke omgeving. Vervolgens draait de klim een vallei in waar je door een aantal (korte) tunneltjes fietst, dus vergeet je fietslichtjes niet! Uiteindelijk draai je een mooie groene alm in, waarbij je Vercorin in de verte voor je ziet liggen. Een hele mooie klim die zeker een aanrader is!

Steep climb always a beautiful view over the valley during the climb, enough brooks along the way to refill the water bottle for refreshing water or to cool down, there is also a café about halfway.

Stevige beklimming altijd een mooi uitzicht over de vallei tijdens de beklimming, genoeg beekjes langs de weg voor de drinkbus bij te vullen voor verfrissend water of voor afkoeling er is ook een café ongeveer halverwege.
