Some parts 22%. You will be hapoy when it drops to 13%. Wet conditions are good. Good cooling
A tough and steady climb, to be respected and tackled with the right gear ratios. The route offers a beautiful succession of scenery: you start among the houses of the village of Mazzo, then plunge into the forest for much of the climb, until you come out in the final kilometres among alpine pastures. To make it all the more epic, there is the history of cycling that one breathes on these legendary ramps. The road is steep and narrow: it is best to choose the variant from Monno for the descent, which also allows loop rides with Aprica or, for the more trained, with Gavia.
Una salita dura e costante, da rispettare e affrontare con i rapporti giusti. Il percorso regala un bel susseguirsi di scenari: si parte tra le case del paesino di Mazzo, poi ci si immerge nel bosco per gran parte dell’ascesa, fino a sbucare negli ultimi chilometri tra i pascoli alpini. A rendere il tutto ancora più epico, c’è la storia del ciclismo che si respira su queste rampe leggendarie. La strada è ripida e stretta: meglio scegliere la variante da Monno per la discesa, che consente anche giri ad anello con l’Aprica o, per i più allenati, con il Gavia.
Worth a diversion, if you like steep climbing! My first time so steep. With 34/34 gear still very tough. 1.5h to get to the top. Started at 19:30h, really recommended if you like it cooler. I actually went for the Mortirolo but accidentally ended up on this variant because I followed the 'via di Mortirolo' in the village. Few views up, descended to Grosio with much more nice views.
Een omweg waard, als je van steil klimmen houdt! Mijn eerste keer zo stijl. Met 34/34 verzet nog steeds heel zwaar. 1,5u om boven te komen. Om 19:30u gestart, echt een aanrader als je het wat koeler wilt hebben. Ik ging eigenlijk voor de Mortirolo maar belandde per ongeluk op deze variant doordat ik in het dorpje de 'via di Mortirolo' volgde. Weinig uitzicht omhoog, afgedaald naar Grosio met veel meer mooi uitzicht.
Mega tough and only for really well-trained climbers, with the right gear on the bike. At the top, you will be rewarded with great views and be proud of yourself!
Mega zwaar en alleen voor echt goed getrainde klimmers, met het juiste verzet op de fiets. Bovenop wordt je beloond met een mooi uitzicht en ben je trots op jezelf!
Easy climb. Do make sure you bring a second pair of legs for the way back if you're staying in Bormio.
Makkelijk klimmetje. Zorg wel dat je een tweede paar benen meeneemt voor de terugweg als je in Bormio verblijft.
Fantastic challenge for someone 52 years young and 100kg. Tough challenging climb in fantastic surroundings. Quiet and fine road with a constant ascent. Keep pedalling slowly and enjoy the scenery. Highly recommended for any cycling enthusiast who likes a challenge.
Fantastische uitdaging voor iemand van 52 jaren jong en 100kg. Zware uitdagende klim in een fantastische omgeving. Rustige en fijne weg met een constante stijging. Rustig door blijven trappen en genieten van de omgeving. Een aanrader voor iedere wielerliefhebber die van een uitdaging houdt.
The toughest climb ever! It is one of several climbs from Valtellina (three alternatives for the first kilometres). Hard, beautiful, long. Much more demanding than the ascent from Valle Camonica. Absolutely must be done! It is also worth a long trip: many well-equipped facilities to accommodate cyclists from all over the world.
La salita più dura mai fatta! E’ una delle varie possibilità di salita dalla Valtellina (tre alternative per i primi chilometri). Dura, bella, lunga. Ben più impegnativa rispetto all’ascesa dalla Valle Camonica. Da fare assolutamente! Vale anche un viaggio lungo: tante strutture ben attrezzate per ospitare i ciclisti da tutto il mondo.
