Fairly regular climb from the bottom of Val Nure near the town of Farini to the town of Groppallo. It's a winding road with many hairpin turns. I attempted this climb on the 31st of December early morning in fairly cold conditions. On this day, the traffic was very limited but the road was safe due to the use of salt on the tarmac.

The climb starts next to the fields in the lower area and continues into the forest until you get to the top at Groppallo.

I am sure the descent would also be fun, in summer with dry tarmac! :-)
