A Brianza classic, a climb with a closed bottom that however offers the best views of the three small lakes before Lake Lecco: Segrino, Pusiano, Annone. A climb that never lets up, always in the shade and therefore perfect for summer. Beware of wet days, however, I know something about this as last time I slipped on a hairpin bend. The surface, being practically a climb immersed in a forest, is extremely slippery.

Un classico della Brianza, salita a fondo chiuso che però regala il miglior panorama sui tre laghetti che precedono il Lago di Lecco: Segrino, Pusiano, Annone. Una salita che non molla mai, sempre all’ombra e quindi perfetta per i periodi estivi. Attenzione alle giornate umide invece, io ne so qualcosa dato che l’ultima volta sono scivolato ad un tornante. Il fondo, essendo praticamente una salita inmersa in un bosco, risulta estremamente sdrucciolevole.

Very good climb and quite demanding for a beginner level, first part in the villages a few cars then into the second part in the shady forest, beautiful, narrower road almost 0 traffic and several cyclists.

Salita molto valida e abbastanza impegnativa per un livello principiante, prima parte nei paesini qualche macchina poi entrati nella seconda parte nel bosco in ombra, bellissima,strada più stretta quasi 0 traffico e diversi ciclisti.

A climb to do if you are in the area for the excellent views it offers. A destination for cyclists all year round, in winter it offers a sunny route. The asphalt is acceptable and has definitely improved, but a few potholes remain (a few years earlier I had a puncture due to a rim blowout). A first stop at the alpine monument is a must at an altitude of 634m. The public drinking fountain is located at the start in front of the Convegno bar, which is always crowded with cyclists.

Salita da fare se si è in zona per le ottime viste panoramiche che offre. Meta di ciclisti tutto l'anno, in inverno offre un percorso soleggiato. Asfalto accettabile e decisamente migliorato ma qualche buca resta (qualche anno prima avevo bucato proprio per una botta al cerchio). Una prima tappa al monumento agli alpini è d'obbligo a 634m di quota. La fontanella pubblica si trova alla partenza di fronte al bar Convegno sempre affollato di ciclisti.

Beautiful, very continuous climb, a little narrow road after the little park in the hardest part, be careful with cars coming down from the hermitage

Bella salita molto continua, un po stretta la strada dopo il parchetto nella parte piu dura, attenzione con le macchine che scendono dall’eremo

26/05/2024 - A beautiful climb, deep in the forest. Quite demanding but worth doing. At the top, a beautiful view of the lakes. On a fine day, you can see the skyline of Milan. When you reach the monument of the alpini, you can continue for a couple of kilometres to the hermitage. Here, you can find a locker with material for repairing tyres and other bike parts.

26/05/2024 - Una bella salita, immersi nel bosco. Abbastanza impegnativa ma da fare. In cima un bellissimo panorama dei laghi. Nelle belle giornate si può vedere lo skyline di Milano. Arrivati al monumento degli alpini, si può proseguire per un paio di km sino all'eremo. Qua, nel caso, potrete trovare un armadietto con del materiale per riparare gomme e altro delle bici.

Good climb and good road surface. The last few km challenging but not impossible. I didn't see/find any water fountains. Exceptional view at the war memorial.

Bella salita e manto stradale ok. Gli ultimi km impegnativi ma non impossibili. Non ho visto/trovato fontane per l’acqua. Panorama eccezionale presso il monumento dei caduti.

Nice climb in the Lecco Pre-Alps, cool in the woods, tough in the last few kilometres. Watch out for many weekend walkers. Beautiful panorama at and around the summit!

Bella salita nelle prealpi lecchesi, fresca in mezzo al bosco, dura negli ultimi km. Occhio ai molti camminatori nel weekend. Bellissimo il panorama in cima e nelle sue vicinanze!
