Done in terrible heat, but my fault! The climb is nice, the first 3km are a false flat, then suddenly it climbs around 9-10%. It just needs a slightly cooler day. Beautiful valley, closed, very few people, zero cars. Cute summit arrival, you can see the St Bernard pass.... read more

Fatta con un caldo terribile, ma colpa mia!
La salita è bella, i primi 3km sono un falso piano, poi di colpo di inerpica intorno al 9-10%. Ci va solo una giornata un po' più fresca. Bella la valle, chiusa, pochissima gente, zero auto. Arrivo in vetta carino, si vede il colle di San Bernardo.

It is less demanding than the one on the Piedmont side, but I prefer it. You ascend through a somewhat narrow valley surrounded by nature, without a single village. The view from the pass over the Ligurian Alps is very beautiful.

Meno impegnativa rispetto a quella del versante piemontese, ma la preferisco. Si sale per una valle un po' stretta e immersa nella natura, senza nemmeno un paese. Molto bella la vista dal valico sulle Alpi Liguri.
