This climb was featured in the 16th stage of the Giro 2026. Fairly regular climb at around 8％-9％, with a little descent and a further increase of slope near the end. Shaded in the bottom part, road fairly wide, low traffic and good tarmac to descend on! Not much at the top, couldn't find any fountain though.... read more
