Secondo me una salita ideale per strutturare la gamba, pendenze regolari dal 7％ al 9％. kilometraggio giusto,circa 10km. traffico veicolare praticamente nullo. paesaggi stupendi.. a mio avviso una salita per chi cerca di strutturare la gamba ed il fiato...

nice climb to do when it's warm because it remains fairly shady, appreciable return loop to the Val Belviso power station and then reconnect on the Aprica road. Always well pedalled.

bella salita da fare quando fa caldo perché rimane abbastanza ombreggiata, apprezzabile il rientro ad anello verso la centrale elettrica della val belviso per poi riconnettersi sulla strada di Aprica. Sempre ben pedalabile.
