Done going up to Castello Tesino from the Morello Road (about 9km of switchbacks never above seven percent, very nice), after Castello it is 16km up to the Pass but the last four are basically flat, The climb has many straight sections, few views and few switchbacks, however it is not unpleasant. Once on the pass, it is worth climbing further up to Malga Arpaco to better enjoy the views and eat some homemade cakes. If you go down the same road, it is fast and fun.

Done going up to Castello Tesino from the Morello Road (about 9km of switchbacks never above seven percent, very nice), after Castello it is 16km up to the Pass but the last four are basically flat, The climb has many straight sections, few views and few switchbacks, however it is not unpleasant. Once on the pass, it is worth climbing further up to Malga Arpaco to better enjoy the views and eat some homemade cakes. If you go down the same road, it is fast and fun. I did it on a Saturday in late May, the bikers and motorists you hear in Monza were already a nuisance. I don't know about summer. There are a couple of small tunnels: bring lights.

Fatta salendo a Castello Tesino dalla Strada del Morello (circa 9km di tornanti mai sopra al sette per cento, molto bella), dopo Castello sono 16km fino al Passo ma gli ultimi quattro sono sostanzialmente pianeggianti, La salita presenta molti tratti dritti, pochi panorami e pochi tornanti, tuttavia non è spiacevole. Una volta sul passo, vale la pena salire ancora fino a Malga Arpaco per godere meglio il panorama e mangiare dei dolci fatti in casa. Se si scende dalla stessa strada, è veloce e divertente. L'ho fatta un sabato di fine maggio, i motociclisti e gli automobilisti che si sentono a Monza erano già un fastidio. Non saprei d'estate. Ci sono un paio di piccole gallerie: portare le luci.

Nice quiet climb in the Southern Dolomites. You hardly encounter a car there. Ski area at the top. At the top is a restaurant with friendly service and the necessary coffee and sandwiches.

Leuke rustige klim in de Zuidelijke Dolomieten. Je komt er bijna geen auto tegen. Skigebied bovenin. Op de top zit een restaurant met vriendelijke bediening en de nodige koffie en sandwiches.
