I don't give full marks just because the road is so many times rutted and poorly maintained. The climb itself is very beautiful, smooth and full of hairpin bends. The view is incredible and beautiful, to be enjoyed going downhill. You are facilitated by the numerous hairpin bends that always allow you to take a breather. Before arriving at the lake, there is a restaurant. With the bike, I do not recommend going all the way down, but to photograph it from above.... read more

Non dò il massimo dei voti solo perchè la strada è tantissime volte disastrata e mal tenuta. La salita in sè è molto bella, regolare e ricca di tornanti. La vista, incredibile e bellissima, da godersi scendendo in discesa. Si è facilitati dai numerosi tornanti che permettono sempre di rifiatare. Prima di arrivare al lago c'è un ristorante. Con la bici non consiglio di scendere completamente ma fotografarlo dall'alto

For those who do not have the strength or time to go all the way to the Forcora. Lake Delio is unusual: the only artificial lake I have ever seen built on a pass, with two dams, one on this side, one on the other.

Per chi non ha le forze o il tempo di arrivare fino alla Forcora. Particolare il lago Delio: l'unico lago artificiale che io abbia mai visto costruito su un valico, con due dighe, una di qua, una di là..
