Done in the middle of winter. Great things are the views and the little traffic. I found it particularly challenging. The forest section with the small switchbacks has numerous sections around 15％. Unfortunately, snow did not make it possible to reach Piancavallo. No drinking fountains were reported.

Spicy climb especially with heat, from Cannero straight uphill, after the top towards Verbania still treacherous stretches of bad road, and precipices, descent towards Verbania lovely. All in all, fine climbing.

Two-faced coin climb. 1/2: "beautiful training" constant in terms of slope (~10％), lake view, sunny. 2/2: "fight for top" with ramps to 15％, narrow shady road in woods, mountain view. A tribute to lake Maggiore area.

Nice climb. Barely below 9％ on fairly quiet road. Lovely to rise above Lago Majore at a rapid pace. After 7km into the forest quite steep with 16％+ sections. Not too many cars. Road surface moderate.

Beautiful and not easy climb, at times very scenic over Lake Maggiore, at times passing through cool forests, today also through the clouds 😊.

Enjoyed this climb. Quite a lot of shade at the top, through the forest. Road surface really moderate, for climbing fine, descending better on side of Verbiana.

This is a tough climb that is not for everyone. Many parts are above 10％ so I was happy with my 33 rear gear. Once you get to the top, you have a view over Lago Maggiore. The road surface is in poor condition so I would not want to descend here.
