Still, it is a real treat to try.

È comunque una vera chicca da provare.

For the series of lesser-known climbs in Valcuvia, here is a demon difficult to tame: the climb to Aga from Casalzuigno. Despite its brevity, it represents a psycho-physical test of survival: the hellish stretch is 600m long with an average gradient of 20.6％ these numbers are enough to put most people off.... in addition, a section paved in stone has been asphalted only for the passage of vehicle wheels, making it not only impossible to zigzag but also to skid slightly... the village is also worth a visit for the splendid panorama over the Valcuvia. The road surface is discreet, except for the partially covered section and the final stone section. A village "out of this world".

Per la serie delle salite meno conosciute in Valcuvia, ecco un demone difficile da domare: la salita ad Aga da Casalzuigno. Pur nella sua brevità rappresenta un test psico-fisico di sopravvivenza: il tratto infernale è lungo 600m per una pendenza media del 20,6％... bastano questi numeri per far desistere i più.... in aggiunta, un tratto pavimentato in sasso è stato asfaltato solo per il passaggio delle ruote degli autoveicoli, rendendo non solo impossibile zigzagare ma anche sbandare leggermente... il paese merita una visita anche per lo splendido panorama sulla valcuvia. Discreto il fondo stradale, tranne il tratto ricoperto parzialmente e quello finale in sasso. Un borgo "fuori dal mondo".
