The climb is divided into three sections: the first is very difficult and uneven, with gradients reaching 20% interspersed with short, nearly flat stretches; here, you need to pace yourself carefully. This is followed by an easier section—even flat—leading to the village of Campolo: from here, the final 4 km begin, with steady gradients of around 9–10%: the road from here on runs through the woods, which helps a lot on summer days.

The climb is divided into three sections: the first is very difficult and uneven, with gradients reaching 20% interspersed with short, nearly flat stretches; here, you need to pace yourself carefully. This is followed by an easier section—even flat—leading to the village of Campolo: from here, the final 4 km begin, with steady gradients of around 9–10%: the road from here on runs through the woods, which helps a lot on summer days. Watch out for the final ramp, which unexpectedly becomes extremely steep, well over 10%. It’s a very beautiful climb, though, especially from Campolo. Once you reach the parking lot, you must descend on the same side.

Salita divisa in tre parti: molto difficile e irregolare la prima, con rampe che arrivano al 20％ intervallate da brevi tratti quasi pianeggianti; qui bisogna dosarsi con attenzione. Segue poi un tratto più facile, addirittura pianeggiante, fino all'abitato di Campolo: da qui cominciano gli ultimi 4 km, con pendenze regolari intorno al 9-10％: la strada da qui in avanti è nel bosco, il che aiuta molto nelle giornate estive. Attenzione all'ultima rampa, che a tradimento torna durissima, ben sopra il 10％. Salita comunque molto bella, specie da Campolo. Arrivati al parcheggio, si deve scendere per lo stesso versante.
