For me, this is the best of the Matajur climb variants. There isn't much traffic, you go through a lot of small villages and there are many hairpins, with many different scenic views: you never get bored. In the middle of the climb there is a 2km descent inside a forest (with bad asphalt condition) and then you are ready for the last part.

For me, this is the best of the Matajur climb variants.

In the middle of the climb there is a 2km descent inside a forest (with bad asphalt condition) and then you are ready for the last part.
Once in Montemaggiore there is a steep ramp and then you get to the common section between all three versions of the climb: a 4Km drag withthe steepest gradients, with a really boring 1km long straight ramp that never ends, all under the sun.

This version is also great to connect with the climbs around Canebola: from the valley you just have to cross the road and you have the Calla-Montefosca climb.

The descent is not great, bad asphalt in many part, a lot of hairpins and narrow roads; I usually prefer going on the main road (the one that goes Cepletischis-Savogna), that is wider and faster.
