From Lugano, the road climbs gently to Tesserete and at a roundabout takes the direction of Gola di Lago. The gradients gradually increase and become particularly challenging until the Gola di Lago pass. After a few hundred metres and arriving at a barrier that leads into a Ticino patrician house, the road steepens violently with gradients from 15％ to 22％ as far as Alpe Davrosio. Unique spectacle!... read more

Da Lugano la strada sale dolce fino a Tesserete e ad una rotonda si prende la direzione Gola di Lago. Le pendenze vanno progressivamente aumentando e si fanno particolarmente impegnative fino allo scollinamento di Gola di Lago. Percorse poche centinaia di metri e arrivati ad una sbarra che introduce in un patriziato ticinese, la strada si impenna violentemente con pendenze dal 15％ al 22％ fino all’Alpe Davrosio. Spettacolo unico!
