The climb is good and not too difficult, the Last third is in a forest so It's very freshy. The road is small so if you catch a car, it is a bit hard to pass Together, but very few cars drive on the Last 4-5km. The pavement is ok for climb, but very hard for descending... I almost fell down and I was only going 50km/h. The view is probably the best view on the region around Lugano. After this, you have 1.5km of a terrible Rocky road, i did it with an old road bycicle and almost fell off 3-4... read more

Quite a demanding ascent, unfortunately it was bad weather but absolutely worth it both as a personal challenge and as a final satisfaction, I highly recommend it

Salita abbastanza impegnativa, purtroppo era brutto tempo ma ne vale assolutamente la pena sia come sfida personale che come soddisfazione finale, lo consiglio vivamente

After this, you have 1.5km of a terrible Rocky road, i did it with an old road bycicle and almost fell off 3-4 times. But I eventually reached Capanna Monte Bar and the gazzosa drank on the balcony is the Best ive ever had.
