We climb up to the Cristo di Via Sassoni, or if you like, we do the so-called "Giro del Buso della Casara" this time starting further east and not from the centre of Valnogaredo.

We climb up to the Cristo di Via Sassoni, or if you like, we do the so-called "Giro del Buso della Casara" this time starting further east and not from the centre of Valnogaredo. The route is called "Via Forestana" and similarly to Via Sassoni it offers very difficult gradients, especially in the initial two steep sections, fortunately interspersed with some rest. You reach the top with a rather uneven course, but perhaps less difficult than on the other side. The road is narrow but not uncomfortable and there is very little traffic, so you can go downhill rather quickly. From a landscape point of view, there is nothing special to see.

Si sale al Cristo di Via Sassoni, o se volete si fa il cosidetto "Giro del Buso della Casara" stavolta partendo più a Est e non dal centro di Valnogaredo. La via si chiama "Via Forestana" e similmente a via Sassoni propone pendenze molto difficili, soprattutto nei due strattoni iniziali, fortunatamente inframezzati da un po' di riposo. Si arriva in cima con una andamento piuttosto discontinuo, ma forse meno difficile che dall'altra parte. La strada è stretta ma non scomoda e il traffico molto limitato per cui in discesa si procede piuttosto veloci. Dal punto di vista paesaggistico non c'è niente di particolare da vedere.
