Real wall to go for because it is practically hidden from the usual routes in the Varese foothills and on Lake Maggiore. The climb begins in Ballarate di Leggiuno and is clearly marked. You cross with a short ramp at 10％ the hamlet of Ghirate and once you turn right, another small wall followed by a short downhill section that leads to the actual Bosco wall. 300 meters of pure suffering with increasing gradient, a parabolic and breathless left hairpin bend until the drop-off in the middle of the hamlet. After a short downhill section you come to a viewpoint over Lake Maggiore to the south. The road continues paved to the right and allows you to reach the lake highway between Arolo and Monvalle. If you turn left, the road is in natural bottom and reaches Monvalle. Do not underestimate the wall, it requires adequate ratios to tackle it even with momentum.

Vero e proprio muro da andare a cercare perché è praticamente nascosto ai soliti itinerari nelle prealpi varesine e sul lago maggiore. La salita inizia a Ballarate di Leggiuno ed è chiaramente segnata. Si attraversa con una breve rampa al 10％ la frazione di Ghirate e una volta girato a dx, altro muretto seguito da un breve tratto in discesa che porta al vero e proprio muro di Bosco. 300 metri di pura sofferenza con pendenza in crescendo, un tornante a sx parabolico e senza respiro fino allo scollinamento in mezzo alla località. Dopo un breve tratto in discesa si arriva ad punto panoramico sul Lago Maggiore verso sud. La strada prosegue asfaltata verso dx e consente di raggiungere la statale del lago tra Arolo e Monvalle. Se si svolta a sinistra la strada è in fondo naturale e raggiunge Monvalle. Da non sottovalutare il muro, richiede adeguati rapporti per affrontarlo anche di slancio.
