An interesting alternative to get to Faiallo. Compared to the canonical ascent, you climb a little higher and then descend again towards the road. Until Acquabianca, the road is very shady and can therefore be a summer alternative. Arriving at Acquabianca, you can see the landscape of the Ligurian hinterland to the north, while arriving at the top of the climb - the Vassuria pass - you can vice versa have a view from the top of the upper Orba valley to the south, which leads right up to Faiallo... read more

An interesting alternative to get to Faiallo. Compared to the canonical ascent, you climb a little higher and then descend again towards the road. Until Acquabianca, the road is very shady and can therefore be a summer alternative. Arriving at Acquabianca, you can see the landscape of the Ligurian hinterland to the north, while arriving at the top of the climb - the Vassuria pass - you can vice versa have a view from the top of the upper Orba valley to the south, which leads right up to Faiallo.
From the point of view of difficulty, it is a climb that pulls immediately and then lets up for a moment until Acquabianca. From here to the Vassuria pass it pulls again. The road surface is incredibly acceptable. After the Vassuria pass, a fast descent to rejoin the Faiallo road near Vara. The rest of the climb up to Faiallo is very rideable. The arrival at the pass is spectacular, with the sudden view of the sea after the bend and the sudden change in the landscape from wooded to bare and almost alpine. A truly stupendous pass to be repeated in the autumn, starting from Genoa Voltri.

Alternativa interessante per arrivare al Faiallo. Rispetto alla salita canonica si sale un po' di più per poi ridiscendere di nuovo verso la strada. Fino ad Acquabianca la strada è molto in ombra e quindi può essere un'alternativa estiva. Arrivati ad Acquabianca si può vedere il paesaggio dell'entroterra ligure a nord, mentre arrivati al culmine della salita - colla Vassuria - si può viceversa avere una visione dall'alto dell'alta valle Orba verso sud, che porta proprio al Faiallo.
Dal puto di vista della difficoltà è una salita che tira subito per poi mollare un attimo fino ad Acquabianca. Da qui fino alla colla Vassuria tira di nuovo. Il manto stradale è incredibilmente accettabile. Dopo la colla Vassuria discesa veloce per ricongiungersi alla canonica strada del Faiallo presso Vara. Il resto della salita fino al Faiallo è molto pedalabile. Spettacolare l'arrivo al passo con la improvvisa visione del mare dopo la curva e cambio improvviso del paesaggio che da boscoso si fa più spoglio e quasi alpino. Un colle davvero stupendo da rifare in autunno partendo da Genova Voltri.
