The climb is really tough, although short, after the village of Masua the gradients are almost always in double figures and in some sections you will probably reach 20％, the scenery is truly spectacular and the asphalt in good condition, you will find a lot of traffic in the summer, so also because of the heat it is better to tackle it in other seasons.... read more

The climb is really tough, although short, after the village of Masua the gradients are almost always in double figures and in some sections you will probably reach 20％, the scenery is truly spectacular and the asphalt in good condition, you will find a lot of traffic in the summer, so also because of the heat it is better to tackle it in other seasons.

La salita è veramente dura, anche se corta, dopo il paese di Masua le pendenze sono quasi sempre a doppia cifra e in alcuni tratti si arriva probabilmente al 20％, il paesaggio è veramente spettacolare e l'asfalto in buone condizioni, troverete molto traffico d'estate per cui anche a causa del caldo conviene affrontarla in altre stagioni.
