Pedalable and shady, asphalt in good order and you descend well and safely even in the rain, sore point the Sunday bikes that often pass you too close... Once at the top you can descend towards Masone, the Stura valley and Piedmont or climb further towards the Faiallo pass.... read more

Pedalable and shady, asphalt in good order and you descend well and safely even in the rain, sore point the Sunday bikes that often pass you too close... Once at the top you can descend towards Masone, the Stura valley and Piedmont or climb further towards the Faiallo pass.

Pedalabile e all'ombra, asfalto in ordine e si scende bene e in sicurezza anche con la pioggia, nota dolente le moto della domenica che spesso ti passano troppo vicino.. Arrivati in cima si può scendere verso Masone, la valle Stura e il Piemonte oppure salire ancora verso il passo del Faiallo.

The climb begins after crossing the bridge over the Leira river before Mele. A wide road often used by motorcyclists, it has a good surface; it is also often paved due to the passage of the Milan-San Remo (which travels downhill)

La salita inizia dopo aver attraversato il ponte sul fiume Leira prima di Mele. Strada larga e spesso trafficata da motociclisti, presenta un buon fondo; viene asfaltata spesso anche grazie al passaggio della Milano-Sanremo (che la percorrono in discesa)
