The climb is very smooth and enjoyable and you pass through the village of Desulo, which deserves a stop, but the ascent continues and you arrive at the Tascusì pass 1245m, the second highest road pass in Sardinia after Corre and Boi, only 1m higher, which also offers a refreshment bar and from here you can continue on asphalt to the S'Arena refuge (Desulo) 1500m.

The climb is very smooth and enjoyable and you pass through the village of Desulo, which deserves a stop, but the ascent continues and you arrive at the Tascusì pass 1245m, the second highest road pass in Sardinia after Corre and Boi, only 1m higher, which also offers a refreshment bar and from here you can continue on asphalt to the S'Arena refuge (Desulo) 1500m.
Normally it is little frequented but in summer despite the altitude it may be warm, in winter you will only rarely encounter snow.

La salita è molto regolare e godibile e si attraversa il paese di Desulo che meriterebbe una sosta, ma la salita continua e si arriva al passo Tascusì 1245m, il secondo passo stradale più alto della Sardegna dopo Corre e Boi di solo 1m più alto, che offre anche un locale di ristoro e da qui potrete proseguire su asfalto sino al rifugio S'Arena (Desulo) 1500m.
Normalmente è poco frequentata ma d'estate nonostante la quota potrebbe essere calda, d'inverno invece solo raramente potrete incontrare la neve.
