Nice climb. Bad tarmac, unsuitable for descending as there is a lot of loose gravel. The last part of the climb had horses running loose on the road.... read more

One of the most beautiful health resorts in the Umbria-Marches Apennines, it was also included in the Giro d'Italia.

Una delle più belle salute dell'Appennino umbro marchigiano, è stata anche inclusa nel Giro d'Italia.

Magnificent ascent, splendid views, very little traffic.
The altimetry corresponds perfectly, even the descent is covered without too many problems.
Going down to Piobbico for the would be a gamble given the road conditions

Salita Magnifica, panorami splendidi, pochissimo traffico.
L'altimetria corrisponde perfettamente, anche in discesa si percorre senza troppi problemi.
Scendere a Piobbico per la sarebbe un azzardo viste le condizioni della strada

Done mid-August 2023. Beautiful climb on a narrow road with gravel asphalt but wonderful views of the hills of the Pesaro hinterland. It climbs smoothly with 18 hairpin bends. It flattens out about halfway up where it concedes a 4％ for about 200-300 metres. At the top is first Mount Pantano with the lap stone, then from there it flattens out to the last part towards the antennas. Few cars go up this side of Pianello, but look out for the descent towards Serravalle, which is much busier.

Fatta ferragosto 2023. Bellissima salita su strada stretta con asfalto pieno di ghiaia ma con panorama meraviglioso sulle colline dell'entroterra pesarese. Sale in modo regolare con 18 tornanti. Spiana circa a metà dove concede un 4％ per circa 200-300metri. In cima c'è prima il monte Pantano con il cippo del giro poi da lì spiana fino all ultimo pezzo verso le antenne. Poche auto a salire da questo versante di Pianello occhio invece a scendere verso Serravalle che è molto più trafficato

It is one of the climbs of the 2009 Giro d'Italia; very scenic, difficult enough, no traffic, asphalt not optimal for the descent (much better to descend towards Serravalle di Carda). In the last kilometres, watch out for grazing horses. One of the peculiarities regarding this climb is that if it is tackled together with the other two alternatives on the same day, you can request the Monte Nerone brevet, i.e. a certificate of participation that confirms the feat accomplished (45 km of climbing for 3480 metres of elevation gain!); for the climb from Piobbico it is better to use a MTB or a Gravel, as the asphalt is in very poor condition.

È una delle salite del Giro d'Italia 2009; molto panoramica, difficile il giusto, traffico inesistente, asfalto non ottimale per la discesa (molto meglio scendere verso Serravalle di Carda). Negli ultimi chilometri attenzione ai cavalli al pascolo. Una delle particolarità che riguardano questa salita è che se affrontata insieme alle altre due alternative nello stesso giorno, si può richiedere il Brevetto del Monte Nerone, ovvero un attestato di partecipazione che conferma l'impresa fatta (45 km di salita per 3480 mt di dislivello!); per la salita da Piobbico meglio utilizzare una MTB o una Gravel, in quanto "l'asfalto" è in pessime condizioni.

Very nice climb! Zero traffic, only seen some stray horses! Indeed, it is best to have thicker tread in order not to have a flat tyre, less good tarmac and occasional gravel strips. Pity that the RAI antenna does not allow the public to reach the real summit of Monte Nerone. Descent towards Serravalle di Carda, fast, good asphalt and wide road preferable.

Zeer mooie beklimming! Nul verkeer, enkel wat loslopende paarden gezien! Inderdaad best wat dikker profiel voorzien om niet lek te rijden minder goed asfalt en af en toe gravelstroken. Jammer dat de RAI antenne geen publiek toelaat om de echte top te bereiken van Monte Nerone. Afdaling richting Serravalle di Carda, snel, goed asfalt en brede weg te verkiezen.

Nice climb. Bad tarmac, unsuitable for descending as there is a lot of loose gravel. The last part of the climb had horses running loose on the road.

Mooie beklimming. Slecht asfalt, ongeschikt om af te dalen want veel los grit. Het laatste stuk loslopende paarden op de weg.
