I tried this climb in Summer 2023. Departing from Piacenza, cycling in Val Trebbia until Marsaglia then into Val d'Aveto on SP586R until the turn to Torrini.

The road is fairly secluded and mainly into the forest, passing by some villages and pastures. You reach S. Stefano d'Aveto which is a larger mountain town. From there you keep climbing to the Passo Tomarlo in a more open area. As I arrived here fairly late in the morning it was quite hot under the sun compared to the first half of the climb.

After the pass you can continue on a fairly flat section until Passo dello Zovallo which then descends into Val Nure and back to Piacenza.
