Made by Mtb from Lake Ganna. The climb for about 6 km is on asphalt, the last part of this the terrain is very disused.... asphalt with many potholes and little care. Not for racing bikes. The last 3-4 km are on gravel. Quiet route, in the green under the plants.... few stretches in the sun (in the afternoon). Pleasant climb, not too demanding (mtb only). Pleasant panoramic view at the top of Monte Piambello. You can also see the Agno airport in Switzerland. Ideal route also for mountain bike tr... read more

Fatta in Mtb dal lago di Ganna. La salita per circa 6 km è su asfalto, l'ultima parte di questo il terreno è molto dismesso.... asfalto con molte buche e poco curato. Non per bici da corsa. Gli ultimi 3-4 km sono su sterrato. Percorso tranquillo, nel verde sotto le piante....pochi tratti al sole ( nel pomeriggio). Piacevole salita, non troppo impegnativa ( solo x mtb ) . Piacevole vista panoramica in cima al monte Piambello. Si vede anche l'aeroporto di Agno in Svizzera. Percorso ideale anche per allenamento in Mtb. Meglio farla in giornata con molto sole.

The climb cannot be completed with road bikes, or even with gravel bikes. The mbt is necessary because in the final section the road is completely destroyed. I climbed by pedalling on the few shreds of asphalt and for the rest with my bike on my back. The arrival is lower than indicated, in an ugly square with no view where a natural-bottomed mule track begins. It is a shame because the route through the forest is pleasant and not very hard.
I believe that the climb should be renamed as an alternative for the Forcorella di Marzio: in fact, up to the junction for Marzio the asphalt is acceptable

La salita non può essere completata con bici da corsa, e nemmeno con gravel. È necessaria la mbt perché nel tratto finale la strada è completamente distrutta. Sono salito pedalando sui pochi brandelli di asfalto e per il resto con bici in spalla, L'arrivo è più basso di quanto indicato, in un brutto piazzale senza vista dove comincia una mulattiera a fondo naturale. Peccato perché il percorso nel bosco è gradevole e non molto duro.
Credo che la salita andrebbe rinominata come alternativa per la Forcorella di Marzio: infatti fino al bivio per Marzio l'asfalto è accettabile
