Going up the Trebbia Valley, shortly after the junction for Travo, the climb to Castellaro branches off to the left. After leaving the busy SS45 road, climb for 4 km with a few hairpin bends to the Castellaro pass. Challenging but steady 9-10％ climb. At the top, on the left, after 300 metres of very steep dirt road, you reach the Castellaro church.

Going up the Trebbia Valley, shortly after the junction for Travo, the climb to Castellaro branches off to the left.
After leaving the busy SS45 road, climb for 4 km with a few hairpin bends to the Castellaro pass. Challenging but steady 9-10％ climb. At the top, on the left, after 300 metres of very steep dirt road, you reach the Castellaro church. Always deserted except on the first Sunday in August when a festival is organised with excellent kebabs and ravioli di magro. Not to be missed!
Continuing on, in 6 km, you descend into the Nure valley.

Risalendo la Val Trebbia, poco dopo il bivio per Travo, sulla sinistra si stacca la salita per Castellaro.
Abbandonata la trafficatissima SS45 si sale per 4 km con qualche tornante fino al valico di Castellaro. Salita impegnativa ma costante sul 9-10％. In cima, sulla sinistra, dopo 300mt di sterrato molto ripido si arriva alla chiesetta del Castellaro. Sempre deserta tranne la prima domenica di Agosto quando viene organizzata una festa con ottimi spiedini e ravioli di magro. Da non perdere!!
Proseguendo, in 6 km, si scende nella valle del Nure.
