Beautiful climb, long, hard in the first half but never very hard, easier and very scenic in the finale. In autumn, the colours are spectacular and the temperature ideal. As the altitude rises, very panoramic views open up over the entire plain and beyond. Although you cross a beautiful beech forest, I recommend avoiding the final kilometre that leads to the Acquiputoli pass, due to the poor state of the asphalt in this last part. Better to stop at the fork in the Acquerino area. Recommended hik... read more

Bella salita, lunga, dura nella prima metà ma mai durissima, più facile e molto scenografica nel finale. In autunno i colori sono spettacolari e la temperatura ideale. Salendo di quota si aprono scorci molto panoramici su tutta la piana e anche oltre. Seppur si attraversi una bella faggeta, consiglio di evitare il km finale che porta al passo degli Acquiputoli, per il pessimo stato dell'asfalto in questa ultima parte. Meglio fermarsi al bivio in zona Acquerino. Saluta consigliatissima.

Effective climb of about 11 km from when you turn left towards Acquerino. Pedalable and with little traffic, good road surface. The only flaw is the sun, as the stretch is not covered by trees and is completely sunny all the way to the summit.

Salita effettiva di circa 11 km dal quando si devia a sinistra verso Acquerino. Pedalabile e con poco traffico, manto stradale buono. Unica pecca il sole, in quanto non essendo coperto il tratto da alberi, è completamente soleggiato fino alla vetta.
