Motta di Gribbio z Lavorgo

Coming from Biasca it starts climbing a few kilometers before you hit the climb, which of course adds to the difficulty of this climb. The climb itself is well described by the profile: Long, steep parts, interrupted by some shorter, flatter sections.
The first part winds towards Chironico, with limited views but many hairpin turns.
The second part goes through the woods, which limits the views even more. However, the road here is an attraction in itself, with rock walls and steep drops.
The last part is mostly through a meadow, and here you reach the village of Gribbio. This part offers some beautiful views down the valley.
The road through Gribbio is cobbled and it seems they forgot to even out the cobbles at all. The rest of the road, however, has very nice tarmac.
There are some cars on the road towards Chironico, but afterwards the traffic is almost non-existent.

Salita bella, impegnativa; le pendenze rilevate dal mio Garmin sono più alte di quelle sopra riportate; alcuni picchi al 15％, spesso sull’11％. Non so quanto possa essere affidabile, ma le mie gambe erano d’accordo😃. Traffico quasi nullo (1 macchina in discesa). Quando si arriva a Gribbio non spaventarti dalla trada ciottolata; 100mt e fuori paese ritorna asfalto.
La discesa iniziale presenta alcuni rattoppi stradali ma già asfaltati. Da fare.
