Fairly straightforward, with no particularly difficult moments. The scenery makes up for everything. I recommend going in the very early hours, when the sun is just beginning to illuminate the nearby mountainsides. Fantastic views guaranteed. The climb is very even, you can get into a good rhythm.... read more

Dosyć prosty, bez szczególnie trudnych momentów. Sceneria nadrabia wszystko. Polecam wybrać się w bardzo wczesnych godiznach, kiedy słońce zaczyna dopiero oświetlać pobliskie zbocza gór.
Fantastyczne widoki gwarantowane.
Podjazd bardzo równy, można wejść w dobry rytm.

Nice climb, not too steep but in combination with the heat quite tough. Descending to Ponte Arche and then making the round trip back to Riva is indeed recommended (as recommended in previous review).

Mooie beklimming, niet te steil maar in combinatie met hitte wel pittig. Afdalen naar Ponte Arche en dan het rondje weer terug maken naar Riva is inderdaad aan te raden (zoals in eerdere review aangeraden werd).

Nice climb. Nowhere really steep, max 8 or 9% , but mostly 7. Between beautiful mountain walls.
Idea for a nice tour: After Ballino descend in a very different landscape to Ponte Arche and then follow the small river Sarca through a beautiful gorge, and return to Riva via the tourist cycle path along the Sarca. Total approx. 62 km.

Mooie klim. Nergens echt stijl, max 8 of 9% , maar meestal zo' n 7. Tussen mooie bergwanden door.
Idee voor mooi rondje: na Ballino de afdaling in heel ander landschap naar Ponte Arche en dan door schittende kloof riviertje de Sarca volgen, en via toeristisch fietspad langs de Sarca terug naar Riva. Totaal ong 62 km.

Super nice climb right out of the village of Riva del Garda. Not too steep, runs nicely. I cycled all the way to the lake, that's about 9 km with an average of 5%. In the descent via Tenno you have a nice view of the lake.

Superleuke beklimming direct uit het dorp Riva del Garda. Niet te steil, loopt lekker. Zelf alleen tot het meer gefietst, dat is ongeveer 9 km met een gemiddelde van 5%. In de afdaling via Tenno mooi zicht op het meer.
