Very nice and easy climb on a well-paved, quiet road. 9 km with an average gradient of 5％ fairly even, no peaks. If you are well trained it is easily done. Very beautiful and sunny hilly landscapes: it is essential to have sufficient water reserves because there are no bars along the route. However, it can be covered in less than an hour and at the top there is a beautiful plateau from which there is a very fine view of the Ragusa countryside. You can return to Giarratana by turning right aft... read more

Very nice and easy climb on a well-paved, quiet road. 9 km with an average gradient of 5％ fairly even, no peaks. If you are well trained it is easily done. Very beautiful and sunny hilly landscapes: it is essential to have sufficient water reserves because there are no bars along the route. However, it can be covered in less than an hour and at the top there is a beautiful plateau from which there is a very fine view of the Ragusa countryside. You can return to Giarratana by turning right after the summit. The road there is a bit bad but nothing dangerous. If you wish, you can continue on to Palazzolo and make a wider loop. Little vehicular traffic.

Salita molto bella e facile su strada e tranquilla e dal fondo un po' malmesso ma non pericoloso . 9 km con pendenza media del 5％ abbastanza regolare, senza picchi. Se si è ben allenati si fa facilmente. Paesaggi collinari molto belli e assolati: è indispensabile avere sufficienti riserve di acqua perché lungo il percorso non ci sono bar. Si percorre comunque in meno di un’ora e in cima c’è un bell’altopiano da cui si gode una vista molto bella sulle campagne ragusane. Si può tornare indietro a Giarratana girando a sinistra dopo la cima verso Monterosso Almo. La strada lì ha un asfalto migliore ed è molto bello prendere velocità in discesa. Volendo si può proseguire per Palazzolo e fare un giro più ampio. Poco traffico veicolare.
