From Arzeno the last 3 kilometres begin with a narrower road and the climb becomes challenging with a maximum gradient (measured with GPS) of 13％.

Beautiful climb, long but never steep, with little traffic and a good road surface! Once at the top, the descent towards Varese Ligure is even more beautiful

Bellissima salita, lunga ma mai con pendenza elevata, poco trafficata e con un buon manto stradale! Arrivati in cima la discesa verso Varese ligure e ancora più bella

Fino ad Arzeno la strada è larga, a tratti asfaltata molto bene, e poco trafficata nel weekend.
Da Arzeno iniziano gli ultimi 3 chilometri con strada più stretta e la salita si fa impegnativa con una pendenza massima (rilevata con GPS) al 13％.
