A very peaceful climb on a secondary road connecting the main Val Nure road to the villages of Casaldonato and Caserarso, and finally to the Passo Mercatello.

After the first 2 km it gets somewhat steeper for the next 2 km until you reach the village of Casaldonato. The remainder of the climb is fairly regular except a couple of bits before and after Caserarso, then fairly regular again until the Passo.

The road condition can be fiddly in some bits so be careful. Expect to encounter wildlife especially if you go early in the morning :-)
