Zero traffic, very steep ramps around 2/3 of the way up (the average gradient is deceptive because it is watered down by the final kilometres), road surface in poor condition in places. Passable if you go up, I would advise against descending from this side, there are too many loose or unpaved sections, often at double-digit gradients.... read more

Zero traffico, rampe molto ripide verso i 2/3 della salita (la pendenza media inganna perché è annacquata dai km finali), fondo stradale a tratti in pessime condizioni.
Passabile se si sale, sconsiglierei di scendere da questo versante, ci sono troppi tratti scassati o senza asfalto, spesso in corrispondenza di pendenze in doppia cifra.

Beautiful and tough ascent in the final section before the first climb. The passages through the Penna forest are always a spectacle

Salita bella e dura nel tratto finale, prima del primo scollinamento. I passaggi nella foresta del Penna sono sempre uno spettacolo
