Nice climb around Genoa. Steeper first part, then after a few hairpin bends and a short section where it flattens out, it climbs steadily up to the sanctuary. Wonderful views of Genoa and the entire gulf, from Portofino to the Savona area. Road in good condition.... read more

Bella salita nei dintorni di Genova. Prima parte più ripida, poi dopo alcuni tornanti e un breve tratto in cui spiana, si sale in maniera costante fino al santuario. Splendida vista su Genova e su tutto il golfo, da Portofino fino al savonese. Strada in buono stato.
