salita breve e mai impegnativa, che segue una valle boscosa con tratti selvaggi e altri abitati. all'arrivo a palanzo possibilità di mangiare e a fine strada vicino al parcheggio, c'è un punto panoramico con vista meravigliosa sul lago di como, merita soprattutto al tramonto

From Faggeto Lario we turn right for this blind ascent, which starts out quite "serious" but then softens up with some false floors leading to the finish. Excellent bar and restaurant at the top. Cold temperature, always in the shade, excellent in summer.

Da Faggeto Lario si svolta a dx per questa salita a fondo cieco, parte abbastanza "seria" ma poi si addolcisce con dei falsopiani che portano all'arrivo. Ottimo bar ristorante in cima. Temperatura fredda, sempre in ombra, ottima d'estate.

Relatively short but interesting climb. Could be a diversion to take before continuing on to the inner loop around the lake or before climbing the more famous 'Nesso'.
Possibility of refreshments at the finish, in the village. There are no fountains along the climb.

Salita relativamente breve ma interessante. Potrebbe essere una deviazione da fare prima di proseguire per il giro interno del Lago o prima di salire la più famosa "Nesso".
Possibilità di ristoro all'arrivo , in paese. Non ci sono fontane lungo la salita.
