As tough as it is spectacular! After a start in the village, you enter the forest. There are not a lot of hairpin bends; sometimes the rips are straights. It is complex to sit down to rest or refresh. Very hard but the view is priceless, fortunately in the sunshine in winter'winter.... read more

Tanto dura quanto spettacolare! Dopo un inizio nel paese, ci si addentra nel bosco. Non ci sono moltissimi tornanti, a volte gli strapponi sono dei rettilinei. È complesso sedersi a riposare o rifiatare. Molto dura ma la vista è impagabile, per fortuna al sole d'inverno

Completely paved ascent to the summit, in good condition and with little traffic. It is challenging in places but nothing extreme, at the top you have a breathtaking view but you are always accompanied by a beautiful panorama, I highly recommend it because it is worth it!

Salita interamente asfaltata fino in cima, in buone condizioni e poco traffico. A tratti è impegnativa ma niente di estremo, in cima si ha una vista mozzafiato ma si è sempre accompagnati da un bel panorama, consiglio vivamente perché ne vale la pena!
