Always a confirmation. Very regular ascent, perfect asphalt, you arrive at a square. Very last gravel section to the summit, but the beautiful part is even before that. See photos x confirmation. In autumn space

The climb starts just past the busy centre of Lugano. Then you follow the signs for Brè, the traffic fades away and with very regular inclines you climb, amidst panoramic views of Lugano and the lake. When you reach the hamlet of Brè, continue on a comfortable dirt road to the La Vetta restaurant, from where you can enjoy a breathtaking panorama.

Quiet ascent, road surface quite tidy, the last section is unpaved but easily passable. Breathtaking views! Absolutely recommend, truly a beautiful place!

Caught during the cycling route Il Balcone d'Italia. Definitely worth cycling to the top, if only for the beautiful view of Lake Lugano.

Regular ascent, exposed to the sun in the middle of summer, very hot. I saw no drinking fountains. Speechless, spectacular view worth 5 stars
