very scenically beautiful, done on 28 April 2023, not difficult. done on a weekday there was nobody there. Bring a good light because you cannot see anything in the tunnel. Descent to be done carefully on the other side, bumpy and steep road, then back to Biella on the busy state road. The Biella-Oropa-colle della Colma - Biella tour is a nice one.... read more

Beautiful complement to the ascent to the Sanctuary. Here the environment becomes more mountainous and the views more interesting. The climb is of medium difficulty and ends at the entrance to the Rosazza tunnel. Road surface of a secondary alpine road, with stream crossings over cobbled bridges. Dark but not long tunnel, descent from the other side beautiful but narrow, watch out for cars and motorbikes in the opposite direction.

Bellissimo completamento alla salita al Santuario. Qui l'ambiente si fa più montano e i panorami interessanti. La salita è di medio impegno e finisce all'imbocco della galleria Rosazza. Fondo stradale da strada alpina secondaria, con attraversamento dei ruscelli su ponti ciottolati. Galleria buia ma non lunga, discesa dall'altro versante bella ma stretta, occhio ad auto e moto in senso inverso.

Very beautiful, very decent ground. From Oropa, if you want to add a few metres of elevation gain, here are another 4/5 km of hairpin bends with gravel and often passages over large stones to get over the river. Apart from the ugly road (going down the other side you have to make the sign of the cross not to puncture), the panorama is very worthwhile. You have a view of the sanctuary and how snowy it is, even at the end of April

Molto bella, fondo molto discreto. Da Oropa se si vuole aggiungere qualche metro di dislivello ecco altri 4/5 km fatti di tornanti con ghiaia e spesso passaggi su grossi sassi per sorpassare il fiume. A parte la strada brutta (a scendere dall'altra parte bisogna farsi il segno della croce di non forare) il panorama merita molto. Si ha vista sul santuario e su come innevate, anche a fine aprile

molto bella paesaggisticamente, fatta il 28 aprile 2023, non difficile. fatta in giornata feriale non c'era nessuno. Portare una bella luce perché in galleria non si vede nulla. Discesa da fare con attenzione sull'altro versante, strada dissestata e ripida, poi si torna a Biella sulla statale che è trafficata. Il giro Biella-Oropa-colle della Colma - Biella é un bel giro.
