Beautiful climb with slopes very close to 10%. Be careful at the top because there may be watchdogs.

Bellissima salita con pendenze molte vicine al 10%. Stare attenti in cima perché potrebbero esserci dei cani da guardia

As beautiful the view as the road surface is terrible. Review from Vasia/ Dolcedo. Really dangerous and not recommended downhill, not the best uphill either. Very ruined. A pity because it's really beautiful the setting, the climb and the view. Completely in the middle of nowhere, obviously very poorly signposted route. They should enhance certain sights...

Tanto bello il panorama, quanto terribile il manto stradale. Recensione da Vasia/ Dolcedo. Davvero pericolosa e sconsigliata in discesa, non il massimo nemmeno in salita. Molto rovinata. Peccato perché è davvero bello il contesto, la salita e la vista. Completamente nel nulla, ovviamente molto poco segnalato il percorso. Dovrebbero valorizzare certi spettacoli...

The climb was beautiful and over a quiet road. Apart from a single stretch of 11%, it is not actually a tough ride up the mountain anywhere. I rode slowly up the mountain and enjoyed the beautiful views along the way. Still, I would advise against this road as a route to descend the mountain. Sometimes the road is fine but mostly very bad and there are lots of loose stones on the road.

De klim was mooi en over een rustige weg. Op een enkel stukje van 11% na is het eigenlijk nergens een zware rit de berg op. Ik ben rustig de berg op gereden en heb genoten van de mooie uitzichten onderweg. Toch zou ik deze weg afraden als route om de berg af te dalen. Soms is de weg prima maar veelal erg slecht en liggen er veel losse steentjes op de weg.

Nice climb in beautiful area. Little traffic. The scenery of the climb itself is more beautiful than that at the top. Quality of tarmac is variable, be careful in the finish.

Mooie klim in prachtig gebied. Weinig verkeer. Het decor van de klim zelf is mooier dan dat op de top. Kwaliteit van het asfalt is wisselend, oppassen in de afwerking.
