Long climb that is rideable. The hard part is the last 4 km once you have crossed the Swiss border. In this part the gradient is constant at around 10％. The first part is also quite hard, but then there is a long stretch where you can take a rest, so overall the climb is absolutely doable. At the top there is a fantastic panorama of alpine pastures and an enchanting view of Lake Maggiore.

It is supposed to be the longest climb in the province of Varese and unlike the north side from Vira (CH), it is a climb that alternates between more or less challenging moments (in the finale in Swiss territory after Indemini) and others much more pedalable, all in Italy with even flat and back-pedaling sections. The shortcoming is the road's not exactly wide seat and the traffic, especially on weekends and vacations, not excluding the sun exposure except for some wooded sections. The real climb to the Neggia Alp remains the one from Vira, but this climb offers interesting glimpses into the Veddasca Valley by passing through villages that seem out of time.

Dovrebbe essere la salita più lunga della provincia di Varese e a differenza del versante nord da Vira (CH), è una salita che alterna momenti più o meno impegnativi (nel finale in territorio svizzero dopo Indemini) ad altri molto più pedalabil, tutti in Italia con tratti anche pianeggianti e in contropedenza. Il difetto è la sede non proprio ampia della strada e il traffico, specie nei week end e durante le ferie, senza escludere l'esposizione al sole salvo alcuni tratti boschivi. La vera salita all'alpe di Neggia resta quello da Vira, ma questa salita offre degli scorci interessanti sulla Valle Veddasca attraversando paesini che sembrano fuori dal tempo.

Beautiful climb, I liked it almost more than the other side, the last piece is quite challenging but in general it is well rideable, I definitely recommend doing it!

Very beautiful, the little sister of the more famous and tiring part on the other side (Vira). The asphalt is in good condition, especially the last few kilometres in Switzerland. You have to manage your energy well in view of the last 4.5 km which are practically at an average of 9％.

Molto bella, la sorella minore della parte più celebre e faticosa dall'altro lato (Vira). L'asfalto è in buone condizioni, gli ultimi km in Svizzera soprattutto. Bisogna gestire bene le energie in funzione degli ultimi 4.5 km che sono praticamente a 9％ di media

Very long and demanding climb. The hardest part begins after the Swiss border. Generally little traffic. A fountain awaits you at the top!

Salita molto lunga e impegnativa. Il pezzo più duro inizia dopo il confine con la Svizzera. In generale poco trafficata. Una fontana vi attende in cima!

Salita lunga pedalabile. La parte dura sono gli ultimi 4 km una volta che si è valicato il confine svizzero. In questa parte la pendenza è costante intorno al 10％. Anche la prima parte è abbastanza dura ma poi vi è un tratto lungo in cui si può rifiatare per cui nel complesso l'ascesa è assolutamente fattibile. In cima panorama fantastico fatto di alpeggi e scorcio incantevole sul lago maggiore. Se si ama i formaggi si può acquistare ottimi prodotti locali in un piccolo caseificio proprio in cima all'alpe.
