One of those climbs that fool you. The road surface is perfect, the road is wide and visually it doesn't give the perception of how steep it is. Challenging to get to the top... read more

The profile doesn't show how hard this climb is because it's irregular and sun exposed (avoid the afternoon in July or August). It is located less than 10 km.from the center of Bologna and a good choice to combine it with other climbs in the region (e.g. San Luca). Nice view of the surroundings and the city before the last hard section.

Una di quelle salite che ti fregano. Il manto stradale è perfetto, la strada è larga e visivamente non da la percezione di quanto è ripida. Impegnativa da un sacco di soddisfazione arrivare in cima

Two steps from Bologna, with good asphalt and almost no cars. The road crosses a hilly residential area. It is a particularly tough climb, because the gradient almost never drops below 12％. Usually, the climbs around Bologna have a variable gradient, so the gradient hardly stays high for long, but this is not the case here. It really requires very good training.

A 2 passi da Bologna, con buon asfalto e quasi assenza di auto. La strada attraversa una zona residenziale collinare. È una salita particolarmente dura, perché la pendenza non scende quasi mai sotto al 12％. Di solito le salite nei dintorni di Bologna, hanno un gradiente variabile, per cui difficilmente la pendenza resta elevata a lungo, ma qua non è così. Richiede davvero un ottimo allenamento.
