A pretty tough climb from Marone.
Once you detour from the busy road up to Zone (SP32), you enter a nice and calm valley, and the roads winds up next to the steep rock faces.

There was some traffic on the small roads, mostly rockclimbers (you see them hanging on the cliffs as well), or tourists going to the croce di Marone and the rifugio - certainly no drivers in a rush.

There are water taps in Marona and at the end-point, and I saw at least one water tap along the route. But it's a long climb, so be sure to have some with you.

Enjoy!
