I did this climb on Wednesday 25 June at 17:30. In terms of views, intensity and road surface, climb is perfect. The bit near Nova Levante and Lago di Carezza is a bit crowded, but otherwise it is absolutely fine. Definitely recommended if you are in the area and want to cycle between two fantastic mountains (Latemar and Rosengarten).... read more

Ik heb deze klim op woensdag 25 juni om 17:30 gedaan. Qua uitzicht, intensiteit en wegdek is klim perfect. Het stukje bij Nova Levante en Lago di Carezza is wat druk, maar voor de rest is het helemaal prima. Zeker een aanrader als je in de buurt bent en tussen twee fantastische bergen (Latemar en Rosengarten) wilt fietsen.

The first part of the climb is not so special. The second part of the climb more than makes up for that. Magnificent views and the lake along the way is also really beautiful. It is a disadvantage that it is really crowded in the summer months. Thousands of people are on this mountain in all kinds of different forms of transport. Despite that, I found it a wonderful climb. Actually 4.5 stars :p

Het eerste deel van de klim is niet zo bijzonder. Het tweede deel van de klim maakt dat ruimschoots goed. Prachtige vergezichten en het meertje onderweg is ook echt wonderschoon. Het is wel een nadeel dat het in de zomermaanden echt een loeidrukte van jewelste is. Duizenden mensen bevinden zich op deze berg in allerlei verschillende vormen van vervoer. Ondanks dat vond ik het een prachtige klim. Eigenlijk 4,5 ster :p

After a wonderful descent from the Lavaze to Birchabruck with a refreshment in the village on to the Costalunga.
With the Pordoi and the Rolle one of the most beautiful climbs I have done in the Dolomites. When rolling on the beautiful tarmac you enjoy the scenery. After Nova Levante the valley opens up and the background pulls you through the steep part. A few turns later you turn to the right and you see the view on photo 1 in full before you. For me from oh to ah I must say.
Along the Karersee where the water gives some refreshment and just continue to the top where you can enjoy a snack and a drink in a real ski village. Even with snow, this seems a paradise on earth, at least on the bike for sure.
If you have descended you have the tendency to turn around and go back.... It is that beautiful on this climb.

Na een heerlijk afdaling van de Lavaze naar Birchabruck met een verfrissing in het dorp op naar de Costalunga.
Met de Pordoi en de Rolle een van de mooiste beklimmingen die ik heb gedaan in de Dolomieten. Als je over het mooie asfalt rolt geniet je van de omgeving. Na Nova Levante opent zich het dal en trekt de achtergrond je door het steile stuk heen. Enkele bochten daarna draai je naar rechts en zie je het uitzicht op foto 1 in vol ornaat voor je. Voor mij van oh naar ah moet ik zeggen.
Langs de Karersee waarbij het water wat verfrissing geeft en nog even aanzetten naar de top waar je in een echt skidorp geniet van een hapje en een drankje. Ook met sneeuw lijkt me dit een paradijs op aarde, op de fiets in ieder geval zeker.
Als je bent afgedaald heb je de neiging om te draaien en terug te gaan.... zo mooi is het op deze klim.
