Despite being about 30 km from home, I had not yet found the courage to tackle it again... We are in Alto Vergante, the hilly area suspended between the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore and the slopes of Mottarone. An area whose climate and views of the lake and the eastern shore of Lombardy hardly induce the cyclist to suspect that they will find real challenging walls to put their coronaries to the test.
The climb from Tapigliano to the upper part of Fosseno (incidentally two hamlets in the municipality of Nebbiuno) is one of those surprises that can catch even the most experienced cyclists accustomed to "extreme" gradients unprepared: the numbers are quite explicit. In 1.15 km you face 160 m d+ with an average gradient of 13.8％. But the figure is distorted by the first part up to the exit from the historic village, which is also well documented by the video in which the tough part begins in the 4th minute
In reality, the next 450m (almost to the top) claim a difference in altitude of 95m d+ for an average gradient of 20.3％...
The numbers don't talk and lie... there is little you can do about it: this climb must be tackled with due training and the appropriate means in terms of gears. The hard section gives no respite until the end and seems endless, the bike feels like a horse that keeps rearing up and forcing you to adopt the classic MTB posture with further expenditure of energy, and being out of the saddle can lead to lack of lucidity to the point of exhaustion...
For those who manage to turn around during the ascent, they will be able to enjoy the superb view of the southern part of Lake Maggiore... otherwise you can always stop, with the caveat that restarting on those slopes will not be easy, even though the road is quite wide and the traffic is almost non-existent.
The ascent for filming starts at Via Novara in Tapigliano (from the junction with the Alto Vergante provincial road) and continues along Via Dei Boschi and Via Erbuiera. It is not easy to find, but it has also been documented with the street view tool. It's also possible to ascend via Case Sparse Colli Fioriti, but the "infernal" incipit is lost...

Pur trovandosi a circa 30 km da casa, non avevo ancora trovato il coraggio di riaffrontarla... Siamo nell'Alto Vergante, la zona collinare sospesa tra il Lago Maggiore, sponda piemontese, e le pendici del Mottarone. Una zona che per clima e vista sul lago e sulla sponda orientale lombarda, difficilmente induce il ciclista a sospettare di trovare veri e propri muri molto impegnativi per mettere a dura prova le proprie coronarie.
La salita che da Tapigliano conduce alla parte alta di Fosseno (per inciso due frazioni del comune di Nebbiuno) è una di quelle sorprese che può cogliere impreparati anche i ciclisti più esperti e avvezzi alle pendenze "extreme": i numeri sono piuttosto espliciti. In 1,15 km si affrontano 160 m d+ con una pendenza media del 13,8％. Ma il dato è falsato dalla prima parte fino all'uscita dal borgo storico, ben documentato anche dal video in cui la parte ostica inizia al 4° minuto...
In realtà i successivi 450m (fin quasi allo scollinamento) dichiarano un dislivello di 95 m d+ per una pendenza media del 20,3％...
I numeri non parlano e mentono... c'è poco da fare: questa salita va affrontata con il dovuto allenamento e i mezzi adeguati in termini di rapporti. Il tratto duro non da' tregua fino al termine e sembra infinito, la bicicletta sembra un cavallo che continua ad impennarsi e costringe alla classica postura da MTB con ulteriore dispendio di energie, il fuori sella può portare alla poca lucidità fino allo sfinimento...
Per coloro che riuscissero a voltarsi durante l'ascesa. potranno godere del superbo panorama sulla parte meridionale del Lago Maggiore... altrimenti ci si può sempre fermare, con l'avvertenza che ripartire su quelle pendenze non sarà semplice, sebbene la sede stradale sia piuttosto ampia e il traffico quasi inesistente.
La salita per le riprese inizia in Via Novara a Tapigliano (dal bivio con la provinciale dell'Alto Vergante) e continua per le vie Dei Boschi e Erbuiera. Non è semplice trovarla ma è stata documentata anche con lo strumento street view . E' possibile salire anche dalla via Case Sparse Colli Fioriti, ma si perde l'incipit "infernale"...
