More than a climb, I would call it a falsopiano. Climbf considers it a few kilometres but in reality it will be about ten with very gentle slopes. The bike lane is excellent, even though the cars whizz by very fast and it feels more like a high-speed road than a pass. Fortunately, the other Swiss passes are quite different. Done on 14 August with a temperature of 40° on the mountain, I didn't appreciate it either for the landscape or for the "climb". The other side seems much more... read more

Più che salita la definirei un falsopiano. Climbf considera pochi km ma in realtà saranno una decina con pendenze molto dolci. Ottima la corsia per le bici seppur le auto sfrecciano molto veloci e più che su un passo sembra di essere su una strada ad alto scorrimento. per fortuna gli altri passi svizzeri sono ben altra cosa. Fatta il 14 agosto con una temperatura di 40° sul Monte non l'ho apprezzata nè per il paesaggio nè per la "salita". L'altro versante sembra parecchio più serio...

From Riazzino I have always used it as a way to go elsewhere, very easy climb and the view is nothing special, as a final destination I would not recommend it

Da riazzino l ho sempre usato come mezzo di passaggio per andare altrove, salita molto semplice e la vista non è niente di speciale, come destinazione finale non la consiglierei

From the moment you leave Lugano the road starts to climb. This climb is the last section of the total climb. A lot of traffic but desent road. Nothing special on the top.

Basically, it is the final stretch of the busy main road from Lugano to the Monte Ceneri pass. Nothing more, nothing less.

In pratica è il drittone finale della trafficata statale che da Lugano porta al passo di Monte Ceneri. Nulla di più, nulla di meno.
