Very steady ascent with moderate gradient.
Very interesting landscape, with a real chance of encountering wild animals, especially in the less touristy months.
To be avoided on summer weekends.

Salita molto regolare e con pendenza modesta.
Paesaggio molto interessante, con la concreta possibilità di incontrare animali selvatici, soprattutto nei mesi meno turistici.
Da evitare nei weekend estivi.
