Super wild!!!!! Difficult to take once you get to Novaggio. You have to get to the clinic and pass on a street just below, via pazz. From there the asphalt is still good only x one km. Then as you train into the woods, it quickly gets worse until it becomes quite dangerous x punctures. Probably the worst put road made in ch. But a local person was telling me it will be cleaned.... Cmq after the bar start 3.8km at 10/10.5%. really tough. At the top a drinking fountain but not drinkable... read more

Super wild!!!!! Difficile da imboccare una volta giunti a Novaggio. Bisogna arrivare alla clinica e passare in una via appena sotto, via pazz. Da lì l'asfalto è ancora buono ancora solo x un km. Poi addestrandosi nel bosco, peggiora rapidamente fino a diventare abbastanza pericoloso x le forature. Probabilmente la strada messa peggio fatta in ch. Però una persona locale mi diceva che verrà pulita.... Cmq dopo la sbarra partono 3,8km al 10/10.5%. davvero dura. In cima una fontanella ma non potabile

First half is easy but quite busy. Also Just a few shadows cover your skin and It's very hot on summer. The other 50% is good but there is no view on top, a bit disappointing. The 100m at 14% is fun.

It is long enough, especially the second part, which is good for the beginning of the season, given the low altitude. Not particularly scenic, but the second part in the forest is beautiful, and the finish has its charm.

Dura il giusto, soprattutto la seconda parte, buona per inizio stagione, vista anche la bassa quota. Non particolarmente panoramica, ma bella la seconda parte nel bosco, e l'arrivo ha il suo fascino.
