3.0 by Cla7This is an automatic translation, the original language is: Italian.I give it 3 stars just because if you are in Livigno and want to reach the Cancano/Stelvio and Gavia climbs, you have to do it! It's a climb that is definitely within everyone's reach and you have time to rest once you get over the Eira pass. Probably the only difficulty can be given to those who can hardly stand over 2000.

Gli do 3 stelline solo perché se sei a Livigno e vuoi raggiungere le salite di Cancano/Stelvio e Gavia, lo devi fare per forza!
E' una salita decisamente alla portata di tutti e hai il tempo di rifiatare una volta scollinato il passo Eira. Probabilmente l'unica difficoltà la può dare a chi mal sopporta di over 2000.
Di sicuro è molto divertente in discesa perché non essendo tecnica e avendo tanta visibilità, puoi lasciare andare la bici..
blissful climb, very accessible and much more doable than Forcola (far too many cars's there) this climb is ideal length to still ride well. it is really worth doing this one
zalige klim, heel toegankelijk en veel beter te doen dan Forcola (veel te veel auto's daar) deze klim is ideale lengte om toch goed door te rijden. het is echt de moeite om deze te doen
This is, in my opinion, actually two climbs. The first climb you start in Livigno along a fairly wide road with occasional views of Livigno. After the top of the Eira, you have a short but fast descent to start the second climb. You cycle in a beautiful valley with nice views everywhere. The climb starts through a tunnel that is open on one side. The most difficult bit comes at the end. However, it never gets really tough and so the climb is also popular with pro teams coming to Livigno for training.
Dit is, naar mijn mening, eigenlijk twee klimmen. De eerste klim vertrek je in Livigno langs een redelijk brede weg met af en toe uitzicht op Livigno. Na de top van de Eira heb je een korte maar snelle afdaling om aan de tweede klim te beginnen. Je fietst in een prachtige vallei met overal mooi uitzicht. De klim begint doorheen een tunnel die open is aan één kant. Het lastigste stukje komt op het einde. Het wordt echter nooit echt zwaar en de klim is dus ook populair bij profteams die in Livigno op stage komen.
If you climb the Passo di Foscagno from Livigno, you have its slightly lower brother Passo Eira (2208 m) as a starter.
You start at roundabout San Antonio (center Livigno) and after the bridge over the Spöl river to the right begins the first climb through some hairpin bends. Overall not really difficult but here and there some steeper passages.
Regularly on the way beautiful panoramic views of the entire valley around your starting point.
Just before the first summit a spectacular downhill mountain bike track dives under the road.
After a steep descent the second climbing segment follows at the outside of the village of Trepalle. Slightly ascending with here and there a short, slightly steeper section (road sign 14) and some hairpin bends.
At the top there is a customs checkpoint (Guardia Finanza). But they assume that mountain bikers do not smuggle tax free tobacco/alcohol in their backpack.
At times there is a lot of tourist traffic and freight. The latter is forbidden on weekdays after 18h / Saturdays after 10h and completely on Sundays.
Nice two-part climb without extremes.
Als je de Passo di Foscagno vanuit Livigno opklimt heb je zijn iets lager broertje Passo Eira (2208 m) als voorgerecht.
Je start aan rond punt San Antonio (centrum Livigno) en na de brug over de Spöl rivier rechtsaf begint het eerste klimdeel via enkele haarspeldbochten. Globaal niet echt moeilijk maar hier en daar enkele steilere passages.
Regelmatig onderweg prachtige panoramische uitzichten op het volledige dal rond je vertrekplaats.
Vlak voor de eerste top duikt een spectaculaire downhill mountainbike piste onder de weg door.
Na stevige afdaling volgt bij buitenfietsen van dorpje Trepalle het tweede klimsegment in halfopen gaanderijen. Licht stijgend met hier en daar een kort iets steviger stukje (verkeersbord 14％) en enkele haarspeldbochten.
Op de top is er een douane controlepost (Guardia Finanza). Maar ze gingen er vanuit dat bergfietsers geen taxvrije tabak/alcohol in hun rugzakje smokkelen.
Bij momenten veel toeristisch verkeer en vrachtvervoer. Dit laatste is verboden op weekdagen na 18u/zaterdags na 10u en volledig op zondag.
Mooie tweedelige klim zonder extremen.
