The first part of the climb is exposed on the side of the mountain, then after the hamlets of Ferrari and Santa Ceciclia it enters a dense pine forest.
The sight of the (hideous) statue in the centre of the santa Barbara pass is a liberation.
it is advisable in the intermediate season (but also in winter) to avoid horseflies and wasps that give no respite

Si parte da Bobbio, uno dei borghi più caratteristici dell'appennino Piacentino. Attraversato il bellissimo "ponte gobbo" di epoca romana si parte subito con pendenze a doppia cifra. Nonostante la pendenza media si aggiri intorno al 7,8％ le situazioni dove su computer vedrai 13 -15 e anche 17％ sono numerose
La prima parte della salita è esposta sula fianco della montagna, poi dopo le frazioni di Ferrari e santa Ceciclia si inoltra in una fitta pineta.
la visione della (orribile) statua al centro del passo di santa Barbara è una liberazione.
è consigliabile nella stagione intermedia (ma anche invernale) per evitare tafani e vespe che non danno tregua
