The gradients increase in the finale, when the views open up and the sun exposure takes over. I will preface this by saying that the road belongs to everyone, however, so many bikes! Like the San Marco Pass, the Zambla climb is also the territory of more or less disciplined bikers... they are the two Bergamasque climbs where you have to reckon with and be a little careful too.
A differenza dell’altro versante, caratterizzato da continui sali e scendi, il Passo Zambla da Ponte Nossa è una salita lunga e regolare. Lungo tutta la Valle del Riso si risale fino ai 1.200 mt del Passo Zambla. Salita come dicevo regolare, tratto duro all’inizio e poi la salita diventa piacevole sempre intorno al 5-6%. Le pendenze aumentano nel finale, quando i panorami si aprono e l’esposizione al sole la fa da padrone. Premetto che la strada è di tutti, però, quante moto! Come il Passo San Marco, anche la salita di Zambla è territorio di motociclisti più o meno disciplinati… son le due salite bergamasche dove bisogna fare i conti e stare un po’ attenti anche a loro.
Nice climb , long and very tough in some places , piccli stretches of relaxation but challenging enough for those who do not have a great training , but worth it . The descent to ambria is beautiful with asphalt in excellent condition
Bella salita , lunga e molto tosta in certi punti , piccli tratti di rilassamento ma abbastanza impegnativa per chi non ha un grande allenamento , ma vale la pena . La discesa verso ambria è bellissima con asfalto in ottime condizioni
Very nice!!! Still snow-capped mountains and a long but never extreme ascent. Comfortable some hairpin bends. A drinking fountain at the start near a small church. Beware that it is totally in the sun. Few cars, a few motorcycles
Molto bello! I monti ancora innevati e una Salita lunga ma mai estrema. Comodi alcuni tornanti. Una fontanella alla partenza vicino ad una chiesetta. Attenzione che è totalmente al sole. Poche auto, qualche moto
Varied and pleasant ascent, beautiful views, more challenging stretch in the final kilometres, definitely worth doing!
Salita varia e piacevole, bei panorami, tratto più impegnativo negli ultimi chilometri, da fare senz’altro!
