Beautiful climb! Little traffic, especially the last part. Gradual ascent with some bits that are slightly steeper for a while, maximum 10pct over 200m. And after the descent you can enjoy the beach :-)

First part is false flat actually and can easily be done with morning Panini and mozzarella. Road surface is very good compared to other climbs in the region. Worth to try.

One of the longest climbs in Piedmont/Liguria. Never very steep, but in the end the fatigue is felt all the same. It's well worth the effort, and it's nice to ride all the way through the secluded Capraùna valley...
