Brutal, but worth for some views. Very little traffic, quite some space for riding.

One of the most difficult climbs in Genoa, average gradients above 7-8％ right from the start and steepest part on the finish. To get to the sanctuary, you have to take a 300-metre ramp about 15％ which until a few years ago was cobbled, now it has been paved.

Una delle salite più difficili a Genova, pendenze medie sopra il 7-8％ fin da subito e parte più ripida sul finale. Per arrivare al santuario occorre fare una rampa di 300 metri circa al 15％ che fino a pochi anni fa era in pavè, ora invece è stata asfaltata.
