A beautiful route, up to Carena the climb is quiet and the road is in good order, but from Carena onwards there are bits of dirt road and the road in general is not very well laid out and the gradient increases slightly. Truly a beautiful place; the view at the top repays the effort, I highly recommend doing it at least once

It would be necessary to have a gravel or a cross country bike for the last part from Carena.
There is an uphill climb race taking place each year in May from Giubiasco to Carena.
