An 8-km climb with an average gradient of8%, which can be divided into two parts: the first section starts from Gello and climbs for 4 km with wide (very beautiful) hairpin turns at an average gradient of 7% up to Sarripoli, where the other variant of this climb joins from the left, coming from Arcigliano. From here, another 4 km separate us from the summit at Monte Brocchi di Paone (and then, if desired, to Femminamorta and Margine di Momigno) on a stretch that is tougher than the previous one,... read more

From here, another 4 km separate us from the summit at Monte Brocchi di Paone (and then, if desired, to Femminamorta and Margine di Momigno) on a stretch that is tougher than the previous one, with an average gradient of 8% but with peaks reaching up to 15%. A beautiful climb!

Salita di 8 km con pendenza media dell'8％ che si può dividere in due parti: la prima parte da Gello e sale in 4 km con ampi tornanti (molto belli) con pendenza media del 7％ fino a Sarripoli dove da sinistra giunge da Arcigliano l'altra variante di questa salita. Da qui altri 4 km ci separano dalla vetta a Monte Brocchi di Paone (e poi volendo a Femminamorta e Margine di Momigno) in un tratto più duro del precedente con pend. media dell'8％ ma con punte anche al 15％. Bella salita!
