Salita di medio livello che si presta sia ai più forti come buon allenamento sia agli amatori per una bella conquista. Prima parte su versanti aperti e tornanti, a metà a Civiasco spiana per poi riprendere più decisa nel bosco finale. All'arrivo vista sul lago d'Orta

Nice running climb with some hairpin bends at the beginning. Good to insert into a lap from Lake Orta or the Valsesia valley. Motorcyclists (especially racers) also like to use this road. So stay away in the evenings and weekends.

Mooi lopende klim met in het begin enkele haarspeldbochten. Goed in te voegen in een ronde vanuit het Ortameer of de Valsesia vallei. Ook motorrijders (m.n. de racers) maken met graagte gebruik van deze weg. Dus wegblijven in de avonduren en het weekend.

Classic Passo. Staring with some hairpins (get your water at the second hairpin). After the hairpins, the climb levels out and even descends a bit a few times. Regarder yourself for the final push. The top is a great reward with a view of the lake. Enjoy the decent!
