The climb is steep and goes into the high mountains. Fortunately, at the top you can get a nice drink and relax. The descent and the views are good.👍
De klim is steil en gaat in het hooggebergte. Gelukkig kun je op de top bij een lekker drankje en kun je ontspannen. De afdaling en het uitzicht is goed.👍
This variant of the San Bernardino is quite tough. It is never extremely steep, but the hairpin bends combined with the length of the climb did not leave me cold, in any case. Although one reads that this variant is busier than the other (via the cycle path) I found the climb downright quiet. Some motorbikes and the occasional car. The road surface is fine and in San Bernardino you can fill your water bottles. The climb does not offer that much shelter, so it is definitely warm. The countless amounts of hairpin bends make this climb a real treat. The last 7 kilometres go through a real Alpine rocky landscape.
Deze variant van de San Bernardino is best wel pittig. Het is nooit extreem steil, maar de haarspelbochten in combinatie met de lengte van de klim gingen mij in ieder geval niet in de koude kleren zitten. Hoewel er te lezen is dat deze variant drukker is dan de andere (via het fietspad) vond ik de klim ronduit rustig. Wat motoren en af en toe een auto. Het wegdek is prima en in San Bernardino kan je de bidons vullen. De klim biedt niet zoveel beschutting, dus warm is het zeker. De ontelbare hoeveelheden haarspeldbochten maken deze klim een waar feest. De laatste 7 kilometer gaan door een echt Alpen rotsenlandschap.
Nice climb with moderate trafic. I went over the top down to San Bernadino village to have coffee and come back. Nice pass
I started from Riazzino and stopped in San Bernardino village, overall it was a very challenging but satisfying ride, to be done at least once.
Son partito da riazzino e mi son fermato a San Bernardino paese, nel complesso è stato un giro molto impegnativo ma soddisfacente, da fare almeno una volta.
Climbed starting from Bellinzona on a scorching hot day!
It's really an experience to see the vegetation transitioning from palm trees to alpine climate.
The climb itself is quite nice, never too steep (unless... keep reading), not so much crowded on a weekday, and with a great road surface. Nice opportunity to rest, eat and get water refills at S. Bernardino village, and finish the last push on the beautiful last part.
At Mesocco you can either continue on the main road... or take the bike path (signposted) that spiders up the right side of the Moesa until Pian San Giacomo. Do it only if you are still fresh, and you like challenges! The 5 km detour is MUCH steeper, rarely below 9％, on very narrow roads.
Long, long and somewhat boring climb in the initial part. For me, the fun starts in Mesocco.
Beautiful surroundings and views
Don't be fooled by the signs pointing to S.Bernardino, that's the village. For the pass, you still have 8km to go at 5/6％
Perfect road surface. Traffic is usually moderate
Many fountains along the route
Possibility of refreshments on arrival
Salita lunga, lunga e un po' noiosa nella parte iniziale. Per me il divertimento inizia da Mesocco.
Begli ambienti e panorami
Non fatevi ingannare dai cartelli che indicano S.Bernardino, è il paese. Per il passo dovrete affrontare ancora 8km al 5/6％
Fondo stradale perfetto. Il traffico è solitamente modesto
Molte fontane lungo il percorso
Possibilità di ristoro all'arrivo
Super climb, from Lostallo very long, but constant slope and nowhere too steep, and above all. extremely quiet with a nice road surface. A moment of rest when the slope flattens out at San Giacomo and then again in the village of San Bernardino (beware, after that you still have a piece to go! and then there will be motorcycles/autos at....).
Super klim, vanuit Lostallo erg lang, maar constante helling en nergens te steil, en vooral. ontzettend rustig met een mooi wegdek. Rustmoment als de helling vlakker wordt bij San Giacomo en daarna weer in het dorp San Bernardino (pas op, daarna moet je nog een stuk! en dan komen er motors/autos bij....).
If you go in September or thereabouts the climb is spectacular for the views, landscapes, snow... it is highly recommended.
Si vas en septiembre o por ahí la subida esta espectacular por las vistas, paisajes, nieve... es muy recomendable.
Admittedly, I started in Soazza. The first sign indicated San Bernardino for 16 km. That's where I made the rookie mistake due to poor preparation. San Bernardino is a village which you reach after a descent. After that there is a 8 km steep climb. The reward after the disappointment was great. Fantastic landscape. Even saw deer and finally you come to an idyllic lake. If you have time and energy to build a tower of boulders.
Toegegeven, ik ben gestart in Soazza. Op het eerste bord wordt San Bernardino aangeven voor 16 km. Daar maakte ik de beginnersfout door een slechte voorbereiding. San Bernardino is een dorp die je bereikt na een afdaling. Daarna nog 8 km flink klimmen. De beloning was na de teleurstelling groot. Fantastisch landschap. Zag zelfs herten en als laatste kom je bij een idyllisch meer. Als je tijd en energie over hebt bouw dan een toren van keien.
Pictures say it all! Nice tough climb in beautiful surroundings. Good preparation is a must, lots of motorized traffic.
Foto’s zeggen genoeg! Mooie pittige klim in een prachtige omgeving. Goede voorbereiding is wel een aanstaren, wel veel gemotoriseerd verkeer.
