A very interesting climb due to the remarkable landscapes and places crossed, first and foremost the 'Eagles Nest' about halfway up: I ride it every year but the spectacle is guaranteed. The rating depends on the road, which is rather badly maintained and it is not uncommon to find it closed due to landslides that are removed very slowly.

A very interesting climb due to the remarkable landscapes and places crossed, first and foremost the 'Eagles Nest' about halfway up: I ride it every year but the spectacle is guaranteed.
The rating depends on the road, which is rather badly maintained and it is not uncommon to find it closed due to landslides that are removed very slowly.
I only recommend the climb in the summer months and in any case, you have to be very careful of the stones and gravel on the roadway.
Traffic is practically non-existent except near the pass and in the short, fairly steep stretch leading to Campo Staffi.
It is easy to encounter wild animals.

Salita molto interessante per i notevoli paesaggi ed i luoghi attraversati, primo tra tutti il 'Nido delle Aquile' a circa metà percorso: la percorro ogni anno ma lo spettacolo é garantito.
La valutazione dipende dalla strada che é tenuta piuttosto male e non é raro trovarla chiusa per frane che vengono rimosse molto lentamente.
Consiglio la salita solo nei mesi estivi e comunque va prestata molta attenzione ai sassi ed al pietrisco sulla carreggiata.
Il traffico é praticamente inesistente se non in prossimità del valico e nel breve tratto, abbastanza ripido, che porta a Campo Staffi.
Facile incontrare animali selvatici.
