Starting in Vo' with a slightly uphill road, in Boccon at the church take Via Monte Venda. The ascent is very uneven, and after a short descent towards the middle of the route, it continues somewhat uphill, with two or three short but malignant ramps (16/17%) alternating with less demanding stretches. All in all, it can be done, but I didn't like it much.... read more

Gustinho's review is agreeable. I would only add that the section between Boccon and the turn towards Via Molini is not unpleasant and offers a few crossings in the shade with good asphalt and a smooth ride. On the other hand, the second part, the one after the intermediate descent, is all in the sun, and while the panorama offers beautiful views of Monte delle Forche and Mount Venda, it is not as pleasant due to the summer heat and the very syncopated course, with stretches at 4 or 5% and ramps that last a few dozen metres but reach gradients of over 15%. There is no picking up the pace, in short.
At the top, the climb reaches the Ronco area. You can continue with another easy kilometre to Castelnuovo, and from there devote yourself to something more interesting.
Downhill, a few nice bends, the asphalt in good condition and the width of the road allow for fun manoeuvres. Traffic is very limited but not non-existent, given the presence of inhabited houses and a few restaurants, which are easily reached via more comfortable alternative routes.

La recensione di Gustinho è condivisibile. Aggiungo solo che il tratto tra Boccon e la svolta verso via Molini non è sgradevole e regala qualche attraversamento all'ombra con buon asfalto e andamento regolare. Invece la seconda parte, quella dopo la discesa intermedia, è tutta al sole, e se il panorama offre belle viste sul monte delle Forche e sul Venda, non altrettanto piacevole è la calura estiva e l'andamento molto sincopato, con tratti al 4 o 5% e rampette che durano poche decine di metri ma raggiungono pendenze superiori al 15%. Non si prende il ritmo, insomma.
In cima la salita arriva in zona Ronco. Si può proseguire con un altro chilometro facile fino a Castelnuovo, e da lì dedicarsi a qualcosa di più interessante.
In discesa qualche bella curva, l'asfalto in buone condizioni e la larghezza della strada permettono manovre divertenti. Il traffico è molto limitato ma non inesistente, data la presenza di case abitate e qualche ristorante, peraltro facilmente raggiungibili tramite percorsi alternativi più comodi.

Si parte da Vo' con strada in leggera salita, a Boccon in corrispondenza della chiesa si prende Via Monte Venda. La salita e' molto discontinua, dopo una breve discesa verso metà percorso si continua un po' a strappi, con due o tre rampe brevi ma maligne (16/17%) alternate a tratti meno impegnativi. Tutto sommato si può fare, ma a me non e' piaciuta granche'.
