From Ponti di Sedrina, at the entrance to Val Brembana, turn left and attack a long, pedalable climb that leads to the foot of Valtaleggio.

From Ponti di Sedrina, at the entrance to Val Brembana, turn left and attack a long, pedalable climb that leads to the foot of Valtaleggio. Perfect for training pace and cadence, tackled all with the so-called "padellone" in front. First part in the gorge of Val Brembilla in the cool, the continuation instead is a bit more exposed to the sun. When you reach Forcella di Bura you can decide whether to continue to Val Taleggio, turn back via Gerosa-Blello (then descend into Val Imagna) or continue, as I did, to Culmine di San Pietro.

Da Ponti di Sedrina, all’imbocco della Val Brembana, si svolta a sinistra e si attacca una lunga e pedalabile salita che conduce ai piedi della Valtaleggio. Perfetta per allenare il ritmo e la cadenza, affrontabile tutta con il cosiddetto “padellone” davanti. Prima parte nella gola della Val Brembilla al fresco, il proseguo invece è un po’ più esposto al sole. Arrivati alla Forcella di Bura potete decidere se proseguire per la Val Taleggio, se tornare indietro passando da Gerosa-Blello (quindi scendere in Val Imagna) o proseguire, come ho fatto io, fino alla Culmine di San Pietro.

Classic ascent. Beautiful views the further you go. Fits well into loop tours

Easy ascent. As long as you are in the gorge leading to Brembilla you are quite shady, climbing up, especially in the hairpin bend area, very exposed to the sun. Not to be missed is the fountain at Gerosa stage for the many cyclists approaching the climb. From the forcella di Bura you can descend into the Taleggio valley (stupendous) passing in front of the other fountain, that of the bear. Without reaching the Bura pass, you can opt to close a loop towards Blello, Berbenno. Too bad for bad asphalt on that route from Berbenno you can descend to Brembilla via Laxolo

Salita facile. Finché si è nella gola che porta a Brembilla si è abbastanza in ombra, salendo, specialmente nella zona dei tornanti, molto esposta al sole. Imperdibile la fontanella di Gerosa tappa per i molti ciclisti che approcciano la salita. Dalla forcella di Bura si può scendere in val Taleggio (stupenda) transitando davanti all'altra fontana, quella dell'orso. Senza arrivare alla forcella di Bura si può optare per chiudere un anello verso Blello, Berbenno. Peccato per asfalto pessimo in quel percorso da Berbenno si può ridiscendere su Brembilla via Laxolo

Pleasant ascent, passing through other passes or to be considered as a first outing after a break. Little or no traffic.

Salita piacevole, di passaggio per altri valichi o da considerare come prima uscita dopo un periodo di stop. Poco o nulla trafficata.
