A very simple climb, it can be divided into three distinct parts. the first km is quite demanding, passing through the town of Fossola and then the first 3 hairpin bends, with gradients of between 7 and 9 ％. Then there is a long, very simple central section to reach the crossroads and then the last 700 metres with steep gradients of more than 10％ even if only for a few hundred metres. excellent to tackle in summer as it is almost all protected by the forest. good asphalt, almost no traffi... read more

good asphalt, almost no traffic

Salita molto semplice,si puo dividere in tre parti ben distinte.
il primo km abbastanza impegnativo,attraversando il paese di Fossola e poi per i primi 3 tornanti,le pendenze viaggiano tra il 7 e il 9 ％. poi un lungo tratto centrale molto semplice per arrivare al bivio e farsi gli ultimi 700 metri con pendenze accentuate esuperiori al 10％ anche se ,appunto,per poche centinaia di metri.
ottima da affrontare in estate essendo quasi tutta protetta del bosco.
asfalto buono,traffico quasi nulla
