In my opinion, this is the most beautiful of the three variants to climb the Cuvignone. The valley above Nasca is peculiar and beautiful, overgrown with vegetation and dominated by bricchi, in summer for a while you imagine you are on a tropical island. Minimal traffic. The second part is steep in the forest, with irregular hairpin bends. Not to be missed.... read more

Beautifully gentle climb with countless curves, also doable in summer due to the many trees and shade!

Prachtig rustige klim met ontelbare bochten, ook in de zomer goed te doen door de vele bomen en schaduw!

Secondo me è la più bella delle tre varianti per salire al Cuvignone. La vallata sopra Nasca e particolare e bella, invasa dalla vegetazione e sovrastata da bricchi, in estate per un po' ti immagini di essere in un'isola tropicale. Traffico minimo. La seconda parte è ripida nel bosco, con tornanti irregolari. Da non perdere.
