Wonderful climb in an enchanting landscape, reasonably shady and with little traffic. Narrow roadway. Up to the middle and beyond it alternates between hard climbs and false-floors, then the pains begin ;)
Splendida salita in un paesaggio incantato, ragionevolmente ombreggiata e con scarso traffico. Sede stradale stretta. Fino a metà e oltre alterna strappi duri e falsopiani, poi cominciano i dolori ;)
Ascent that the segment on the site does not include the last two kilometres to the Alpe car park. The total climb amounts to 11.16 km for an altitude difference of 1098 m d+ and an average gradient of 9.8％. A tough, continuous climb without the possibility of resting with stretches even over 20％ and peaks at 22-23％ with a decent road surface for being a consortium but a very narrow one that does not always allow crossing with the few cars that travel along it. Excellent shade throughout the route and discreet views of the valley and Varzo. It climbs up to the slopes of Monte Cistella. It can be easily tackled by bdc provided it is equipped with suitable gears (34x32 recommended for sections where 20％). Presence of a few drinking fountains along the route. There are no drinking fountains at the summit car park.
Salita che il segmento sul sito non include gli ultimi due km fino al parcheggio dell'Alpe. La salita totale ammonta a 11,16 km per un dislivellodi 1098 m d+ e una pendenza media del 9,8％. Salita dura, continua senza possibilità di riposare con tratti anche over 20％ e punte al 22-23％ con manto stradale discreto per essere una consortile ma sede molto stretta che non sempre consente incrocio con le poche auto che la percorrono. Ottima ombreggiatura per tutto il percorso e discreti scorci sulla valle e su Varzo. Ci si inerpica fino alle pendici del monte Cistella. Si può tranquillamente affrontare in bdc purché sia dotata di adeguati rapporti (consigliato il 34x32 per i tratti ove 20％). Presenza di alcune fontanelle sul percorso. Al parcheggio sommitale non sono presenti.
