A legendary climb, the scenery during the ascent gets better and better and at the summit you have a view of the Italian Alps. The gravel section with tarmac roads is really superb.

Ascension légendaire, le paysage durant l'ascension est de mieux en mieux et au sommet on a une vue sur les alpes italiennes. La partie gravel avec des routes goudronnées est vraiment superbe.
