4.0 by esseciThis is an automatic translation, the original language is: Italian.Tackled some time ago, this is basically the parallel climb to the equally treacherous Alpe Loccia from Chesio. Shorter (only 1.5 kilometres) but very treacherous due to the very high gradients with the final section not exceeding 20％ it becomes very difficult if you have not previously dosed your energy well. Even arriving at the barrier from Valstrona and Luzzogno is not exactly a walk in the park (just before the start of the consortium road there is already a good wall to tackle), but afte... read more

Tackled some time ago, this is basically the parallel climb to the equally treacherous Alpe Loccia from Chesio. Shorter (only 1.5 kilometres) but very treacherous due to the very high gradients with the final section not exceeding 20％ it becomes very difficult if you have not previously dosed your energy well. Even arriving at the barrier from Valstrona and Luzzogno is not exactly a walk in the park (just before the start of the consortium road there is already a good wall to tackle), but afterwards the gradient is always well above 13-14％ with peaks of even 19％. Fortunately the asphalt is decent although the roadway is rather narrow and the bitumen ends at the statue of the Madonna that dominates the valley and Luzzogno with a very impressive panoramic view. From that point the road becomes unpaved and impassable for a bdc. There is also a fountain at the summit. It is possible to combine the ascent with that of Alpe Loccia and then to Campello Monti and/or Massiola and/or Inuggio (which can be reached from Luzzogno), as long as you are aware that you are facing a short but very extreme tour.
Affrontata un po' di tempo fa, è in pratica la salita parallela a quella altrettanto insidiosa dell'Alpe Loccia da Chesio. Più corta (solo 1 km e mezzo) ma molto insidiosa per le pendenze molto elevate con il tratto finale che pur non superando il 20％ diventa molto difficile se in precedenza non si sono dosate bene le energie. Già arrivare alla sbarra da Valstrona e Luzzogno non è proprio una passeggiata (poco prima dell'inizio della strada consortile c'è già da affrontare un bel muro) ma dopo la pendenza è sempre abbondantemente superiore al 13-14％ con punte anche al 19％. Fortuna che l'asfalto è discreto sebbene la sede stradale piuttosto stretta e il bitume termina alla statua della Madonna che domina la valle e Luzzogno con una vista panoramica molto suggestiva. Da quel punto la strada diveta sterrata e impraticabile per una bdc. Alla sommità è presente anche una fontana. E' possibile abbinare la salita a quella dell'alpe loccia e poi quella a Campello Monti e/o Massiola e/o Inuggio (raggiungibile proprio da Luzzogno), a patto di essere consapevoli di affrontare un giro breve ma molto estremo.
