A beautiful climb, always hard with few stretches to breathe, but regular and without significant jolts. It is therefore important to find the right rhythm immediately because you will be climbing for at least an hour. For a good part, especially at the bottom, you pedal through the forest, so even in the heat the temperature is never unbearable. After 11 km of road all around 10％, near an agritourism, the view opens up over a beautiful mountain basin and at the bottom stands the beautiful village of Scalaro, recently renovated and with a fantastic cool fountain. The last kilometre and a half to the village the road is falsopiano and slightly downhill, so at km 11.25 the climb and fatigue are over. For those who have saved a little energy, or after recovering some with the stop in the village, it is possible to climb again on a tarmac road for about 300m of elevation gain by taking the fork on the left before reaching the village, following one of its branches that lead to various mountain pastures. Here, however, watch out for the slopes...
Bellissima salita, sempre dura con pochi tratti per respirare, però regolare e senza strappi significativi. E' quindi importante trovare subito il ritmo giusto perchè si salirà per almeno un'oretta. Per buona parte, soprattutto in basso, si pedala nel bosco, quindi anche col caldo la temperatura non è mai insopportabile. Dopo 11 km di strada tutta intorno al 10％, in prossimità di un agriturismo, la visuale si apre su una bella conca di montagna e al fondo si staglia il bel borgo di Scalaro, recentemente ristrutturato e con una fantastica fontana fresca. Ultimo km e mezzo fino al paese la strada è in falsopiano e leggera discesa, quindi al km 11.25 di fatto la salita e la fatica sono finite. Per chi ha risparmiato un po' di energia o dopo averne recuperata con la sosta nel borgo, è possibile salire ancora su strada asfaltata per circa 300m di dislivello prendendo il bivio sulla sinistra prima di arrivare al paese, seguendo una delle sue diramazioni che portano a diverse malghe montane. Qui però occhio alle pendenze...
