Beautiful, scenic climb of over 1,000 metres, a stone's throw from the sea. Road in good condition, the first section recently paved. In winter, it is possible to end up in fog or climb in snow at the side of the road. On a clear day, it is possible to see Corsica.... read more

You start from sea level and get to more than 1000 meters, this is Genoa too! 20 km uphill considering the approach to the Turchino pass, the last 10 all in the sun and wonderful views, on the right days the view is magnificent, Genoa and the whole gulf and sometimes even Corsica, in winter it is not uncommon to find snow! On the wrong days, with wind and fog better to stop at the Turchino pass! The only drawback is that the pass marker is in a straight plain with no flavor. Downhill it is useless to be in a hurry, the asphalt and wind close caution.

Si parte dal livello del mare e si arriva a più di 1000 metri, anche questa è Genova! 20 km di salita considerando l'avvicinamento per il passo del Turchino, gli ultimi 10 tutti al sole e panorami stupendi, nelle giornate giuste la vista è magnifica, Genova e tutto il golfo e talvolta anche la Corsica, d'inverno non è raro trovare la neve! Nelle giornate sbagliate, con vento e nebbia meglio fermarsi al passo del Turchino! Unico neo, il cippo del passo è in un pianetto dritto senza sapore. In discesa è inutile avere fretta, l'asfalto e il vento chiudono prudenza.

A beautiful climb, which can be added to the Turchino or Giutte from Voltri, for 20 km; in good weather it becomes wonderful.

Bella salita, che si può aggiungere al Turchino o alle Giutte da Voltri, per 20 km di salita; con il bel tempo diventa meravigliosa.

Bellissima salita panoramica che sale sopra i 1000 metri a due passi dal mare. Strada in buone condizioni, il primo tratto asfaltato da poco. In inverno è possibile finire nella nebbia o salire con la neve a bordo strada. Nelle giornate limpide è possibile vedere la Corsica.
