Not a climb I'm particularly fond of...unfortunately, traffic often reigns and you have to be a little careful at all times. Obligatory passage if you want to go up to Piani dei Resinelli, Morterone or Culmine di San Pietro from Lecco. Last piece quite hard between 9-10%.

Non una salita che mi sta particolarmente simpatica… purtroppo spesso regna il traffico e bisogna stare sempre un po’ attenti. Passaggio obbligato se si vuole salire ai Piani dei Resinelli, Morterone o Culmine di San Pietro da Lecco. Ultimo pezzo abbastanza duro tra il 9-10%

The climb behind my home, I often ride it as a post-work workout or stress-buster, ranging between 33 minutes and 27, depending on form, fatigue and desire. Smooth asphalt, normal city traffic, few trucks

La salita dietro casa, la percorro spesso come allenamento post lavoro o scaccia stress, oscillando tra i 33 minuti e i 27, a seconda di forma, stanchezza e voglia. Asfalto senza problemi, normale traffico cittadino, pochi camion

Short but rather demanding climb, ideal as a junction or passage. The roadway is not always wide and traffic can be heavy, so best to tackle it carefully.

Salita breve ma piuttosto impegnativa, ideale come raccordo o passaggio. La carreggiata non è sempre ampia e il traffico può essere intenso, quindi meglio affrontarla con attenzione.

Very challenging climb for novices, if they tell you that it is actually not as difficult as it was, don't believe them because they just want you to suffer. I experienced it for myself.
Thank you for your attention

Salita molto impegnativa per chi è alla prime armi, se vi dicono che in verità non è così difficile come è stato fatto a me non crederci perché ti vogliono solo fa soffrire. Lo provato sulla mia pelle.
Grazie per l'attenzione

Not a very long but demanding climb...very hard in the last few kilometres, often at 10％, with only two hairpin bends where you can take a rest. It is a "tax" to be paid to continue cycling in the Valsassina. Quite busy.

Salita non lunghissima ma impegnativa...molto dura negli ultimi km, spesso al 10％, con solo due tornanti dove poter rifiatare. È una "tassa" da pagare per continuare a pedalare in valsassina. Abbastanza trafficata.

It is the first climb encountered when leaving Lecco for Valsassina. Often underestimated when combined with the climbs at Morterone or Pian dei Resinelli, but no less demanding.
Road often very busy and narrow in some places, be careful, especially downhill. Road surface in excellent condition
If done in the Autumn / Winter season, it is very shaded so beware of the ice.
Fountain for water before the last hairpin bends.
Many refreshment possibilities along the way or on arrival.
In the event of auto parking, I recommend that you leave it in the large parking lot in the locality of Bione (third bridge, sports center).
