One of the toughest climbs in Valsesia. Long, demanding, and almost never lets up. Only, it is never the best to arrive at a ski resort in summer, and Alpe di Mera is no exception, with its sense of rust and disorder.... read more

Ascent yes steep and challenging but in my opinion not very scenic and boring scenically speaking.. until three quarters of the way up practically nothing to admire... then the view opens up until you get to the alpe.In my opinion if you want to suffer there are much more scenic climbs to do.

Salita si ripida e impegnativa ma a mio parere poco panoramica e noiosa paesaggisticamente parlando.. fino a tre quarti di salita praticamente nulla da ammirare.. poi il panorama si apre fino ad arrivare all'alpe.secondo me se si vuole soffrire esistono salite molto più panoramiche da fare.

As for the climb, nothing to say, very beautiful and steep with some peaks above 15％. The first part is steep, then the gradients drop, but not much and then we arrive at Alpe Trogo where there is the most difficult part, the rest of the climb is quite difficult. The traffic is very moderate and therefore very good; the only defect is the asphalt, especially on the descent to Trogo, which is full of potholes.
However super recommended

Per quanto riguarda la salita nulla da dire, molto bella e ripida con alcune punte sopra il 15％. Il primo pezzo è ripido, poi le pendenze calano, ma non molto per poi arrivare all'alpe Trogo dove c'è il pezzo più difficile, il resto della salita invece è abbastanza difficile. Il traffico è molto moderato quindi molto buono; l'unico difetto è l'asfalto specialmente in discesa in località Trogo contante buche.
Comunque super consigliata

Una delle salite più dure della Valsesia. Lunga, impegnativa, e non molla quasi mai. Solo, non è mai il massimo arrivare in una stazione sciistica d'estate, e l'alpe di Mera non fa eccezione, col suo senso di ruggine e disordine.
