The road surface is quite poor in the steep section (concrete slabs with lots of holes and some gravel on top) but is still okay to ride on a road bike. Overall, the climb is a 5/5, as the view at the top of the island of Vulcano is simply spectacular. You are higher than the small Vulcanello and can even see into its crater. The descent is challenging and I had to stop once to cool my brakes.... read more

Der Straßenbelag ist zwar im steilen Bereich ziemlich schlecht (Betonplatten mit vielen Löchern und etwas Schotter darauf) ist aber noch mit dem Rennrad okay zu fahren. Insgesamt ist der Anstieg eine 5/5, da die Aussicht ganz oben auf die Insel Vulcano einfach spektakulär ist. Man befindet sich höher als der kleine Vulcanello und kann sogar etwas in dessen Krater hineinsehen. Die Abfahrt anspruchsvoll und ich musste einmal anhalten um die Bremsen abzukühlen.
