The climb is maybe not unforgettable, but it has made cycling history because it was ridden several times during the 1996 World Championships in Lugano. Especially on the last day (during the Elite race won by Museeuw), thousands of spectators were thronged on the climb. The old Crespera, where Coppi won the World Championships in 1953, still exists in part, but is not accessible to bicycles.

The climb is maybe not unforgettable, but it has made cycling history because it was ridden several times during the 1996 World Championships in Lugano. Especially on the last day (during the Elite race won by Museeuw), thousands of spectators were thronged on the climb. The old Crespera, where Coppi won the World Championships in 1953, still exists in part, but is not accessible to bicycles.
The climb begins after a bridge over the highway and initially is a wide curve to the right. After the narrower curve halfway up the climb begins the steepest part that goes through the village of Breganzona.
The climb ends at a crossroads and in a few minutes you can reach the center of Lugano.
Worth a detour, especially if you are a cycling history enthusiast.
