Very long but steady climb: once you find your rhythm, it is really a pleasure to ride surrounded by magnificent scenery. The first part goes through a series of small villages alternating with wooded stretches; then you enter the forest completely, while in the last stretch the trees give way to open and spectacular views. Excellent asphalt along the entire ascent.... read more

Salita molto lunga ma regolare: una volta trovato il proprio ritmo, è davvero un piacere pedalare immersi in paesaggi magnifici.

La prima parte attraversa una serie di piccoli paesi alternati a tratti boschivi; successivamente si entra completamente nel bosco, mentre nell’ultimo tratto gli alberi lasciano spazio a panorami aperti e spettacolari.

Asfalto ottimo lungo tutta l’ascesa.

In terms of views and feeling, in my opinion, comparable to, if not more beautiful than, Mont Ventoux. A varied climb, many stretches through forest and at the end a nice stretch over open terrain as you peer into the depths. Don't forget to refill water at Passo Lanciano.
I did this climb on a summer day with 40 degrees at the coast - from Francavilla it's +-55 kilometres to the top. At the top it was chilly anyway, although that may have been due to my fatigue.

Qua uitzicht en gevoel wat mij betreft vergelijkbaar met, zo niet mooier dan de Mont Ventoux. Een afwisselende klim, veel stukken door bos en op het einde een aardig stuk over open terrein terwijl je tuurt in de diepte. Vergeet niet om water bij te vullen bij Passo Lanciano.
Ik deed deze klim op een zomerdag met 40 graden aan de kust - vanaf Francavilla is het +-55 kilometer tot de top. Bovenop was het toch wel fris, al kan dat ook aan mijn vermoeidheid hebben gelegen.
