It's a wall for all intents and purposes with gradients close to 20% that can wear you out if you are not prepared.

I have no idea how many times I have tackled the so-called Sasso di Gavirate and come close to this gem that although short puts a strain on legs and coronaries especially in the middle and final stretch. It's a wall for all intents and purposes with gradients close to 20% that can wear you out if you are not prepared. The 300 metres hard at almost 18% average are numbers that need no further explanation. Fortunately, the asphalt is in good condition. From the Mattello washhouse there is a beautiful view of Lake Varese. It's the classic road to nowhere, unless you want to continue with a mountain bike into the Campo dei Fiori park.
Non ho idea di quante volte ho affrontato il c.d. Sasso di Gavirate e ho sfiorato questa chicca che sebbene breve mette a dura prova gambe e coronarie soprattutto nel tratto mediano e finale. E' un muro a tutti gli effetti con pendenze prossime al 20% che possono sfiancare se non si è preparati. I 300 metri duri quasi al 18% medio sono numeri che non necessitano altre spiegazioni. Fortuna che l'asfalto è in buone condizioni. Dal lavatoio di Mattello si ha una bella panoramica sul lago di Varese. E' la classica road to nowhere, a meno che con una mtb si voglia proseguire nel parco del Campo dei Fiori.
Short, tough climb with a wall flavour. Not to be missed for those who love the Campo dei Fiori!
Salita breve e tosta, con sapore di muro. Da non perdere per chi ama il Campo dei Fiori!
