A tough climb on a quiet road. The gradients go towards 13％ at times. The views of the mountains are fantastic. It our first ride this holiday, so an excellent warm-up
Een pittige klim op een rustige weg. De stijgingspercentages gaan af en toe richting de 13％. Het uitzicht op de bergen is fantastisch. Het onze eerste rit deze vakantie, dus een prima opwarmer
I did this starting from Sares, which is just above San Lorenzo di Sebato. Follow the Pliscia road for about ten kilometres and you will arrive at the crossroads for the Furcia, joining the indicated route.
The Pliscia road is an excellent alternative: slopes that are never treacherous, a sufficiently well-maintained road surface (a little attention must be paid to a few potholes if you go downhill) and a beautiful view of the valley below. Just after Pieve di Marebbe you turn left for Passo Furcia, sticking to the indicated route when there are six kilometres to the summit.
And these are the six kilometres of the "true" Furcia, with gradients close to 10％ kept fairly steady. Up to the village of Costamesana, the climb is never particularly bad, but in the following kilometres it continually goes into double figures, although there are some easier sections. The penultimate kilometre, however, is the toughest, because there are no intervals to recover. Thus one arrives five hundred metres from the lake rather squeezed, so much so that one appreciates with gratitude the presence of the falsopiano that leads to the pass proper.
All in all, a beautiful climb, with challenging gradients, good asphalt, and the comfort of the forest for a good part of the route.
L' ho fatta partendo da Sares, che é poco sopra San Lorenzo di Sebato. Percorrendo per una decina di chilometri strada Pliscia si arriva all' incrocio per il Furcia, immettendosi nel percorso indicato.
Strada Pliscia é un' ottima alternativa: pendenze mai insidiose, fondo sufficientemente curato (un po' di attenzione a qualche buca se la si percorre in discesa) e una bella vista sulla valle sottostante. Appena dopo Pieve di Marebbe si svolta a sinistra per Passo Furcia, attaccandosi al percorso indicato quando mancano sei chilometri alla vetta.
E sono i sei chilometri del "vero" Furcia, con pendenze vicine al 10％ tenute con discreta continuità. Fino all' abitato di Costamesana la salita non è mai particolarmente cattiva, ma nei chilometri successivi si va continuamente in doppia cifra, anche se non manca qualche tratto più agevole. Il penultimo chilometro é invece il più duro, perché non presenta intervalli per recuperare. Si arriva così a cinquecento metri dal lago piuttosto spremuti, tanto da apprezzare con gratitudine la presenza del falsopiano che porta al passo vero e proprio.
Nel complesso una bella salita, con pendenze impegnative, un buon asfalto, e il conforto del bosco per una buona parte del percorso.
Beautiful panoramic climb to be taken with respect, especially the last few kilometres! It certainly deserves .
Bella panoramica salita da prendere con rispetto soprattutto gli ultmi kilometri!! Merita senzaltro .
