Constant, moderately demanding ascent until 3 km from the end where it presents the steepest point but is short-lived.

Salita costante, mediamente impegnativa fino a 3km dalla fine dove presenta il punto più ripido però di breve durata.

The climb from Mezzano Scotti to Passo Crocetta is the least known of the other ways of reaching the passo. I attempted it during a sunny November day and I was pretty much alone for all the route except a few cars. I liked being immersed in nature and in the tranquility of the forest. The climb has some steep sections but nothing major. Watch out for the memorial to Costantino Girardengo in Schiavi.

This is one of the three possible climbs to the Crocetta Pass and definitely the most demanding. The road surface is not very well-maintained; there are a few more recent patches in places. In the hamlet of Schiavi, the last one encountered, a recently renovated house bears a beautiful plaque dedicated to the never-forgotten champion Girardengo.
All in all, an excellent workout.

Si tratta di una delle tre salite possibili al Passo Crocetta, decisamente la più impegnativa. Il fondo stradale non è molto curato; a tratti qualche rappezzo più recente. Nella frazione Schiavi, l'ultima che si incontra, una casa recentemnte ristrutturata porta una bellissima targa dedicata al mai dimenticato campione Girardengo.
Nel complesso un ottimo allenamento.
