Tough climb and no traffic at all. Bad asphalt and even dangerous in a few places on the way up. You take it from the cycle path by crossing the provincial road carefully. Done at the weekend, I encountered no lorries heading for the quarry. Only one car. Quite shady, which becomes sultry with humidity after a rainstorm.

Tough climb and no traffic at all. Bad asphalt and even dangerous in a few places on the way up. You take it from the cycle path by crossing the provincial road carefully. Done at the weekend, I encountered no lorries heading for the quarry. Only one car. Quite shady, which becomes sultry with humidity after a rainstorm. You don't find anything for almost the entire ascent, only sporadic houses at the top when it flattens out after the quarry. Interesting views. You can close a loop with a descent to the beginning of the Taleggio valley. Tough climb from there too... for a long stretch it remains at altitude with many hikers on foot, very few or no cyclists.
Salita dura e per niente trafficata. Asfalto pessimo e persino pericoloso in pochi punti ben visibili salendo. Si prende dalla ciclabile attraversando la strada provinciale con attenzione. Fatta nel weekend non ho incontrato camion diretti alla cava. Una sola automobile. Abbastanza ombreggiato che diventa afoso per l'umidità dopo una piovuta. Non trovi nulla per quasi tutta la salita, solo sporadiche case in alto quando spiana dopo la cava. Interessanti vedute. Si può chiudere un giro ad anello con discesa verso l'inizio della val Taleggio. Salita dura anche da lì... in alto per un lungo tratto rimane in quota con molti escursionisti a piedi, pochissimi o nessun ciclista.
