Beautiful climb that is not at all hard as it allows long recovery sections. It alternates ascents with plateaus and descents. Very impressive scenery and beautiful views of the villages you pass on the way up. Zero traffic, very useful for avoiding it on the Aurelia. Almost the entire route in the shade, also feasible in high summer.... read more

Bellissima salita per nulla dura poiché permette dei lunghi tratti di recupero. Alterna salite a pianori a discese. Paesaggio molto suggestivo e bellissima vista sui paesini che si superano strada percorrendo. Traffico zero , utilissima per evitarlo sull Aurelia. Quasi tutto il percorso in ombra, fattibile anche in piena estate.
