The route is divided into three sections. The first few kilometers out of Chienes are immediately challenging, on a well-paved, wide road that’s mostly in the shade.

The route is divided into three sections. The first few kilometers out of Chienes are immediately challenging, on a well-paved, wide road that’s mostly in the shade. When you turn left toward Terento, however, the route shifts to a long, gently sloping stretch that’s very exposed to the sun and wind—and not at all enjoyable. Finally, the last three kilometers are on a narrow and somewhat bumpy road that climbs with gradients that are sometimes very challenging (up to 15%!) amid pastures stretching as far as the eye can see and a few scattered farms.
Overall, it’s a technically interesting climb, with a few sweeping views of the Puster Valley below, but not much else. In the summer, the heat really sets in; there aren’t many cars, but when they do pass, they go by fast...

Da dividere in tre parti. I primi chilometri in uscita da Chienes sono subito duri, su strada ben asfaltata e ampia in gran parte all'ombra. Quando si gira a sinistra per Terento si passa invece ad una specie di lungo falsopiano molto esposto a sole e vento e per nulla divertente. Gli ultimi tre chilometri infine, sono su strada stretta e un po' dissestata, che sale con pendenze talvolta molto impegnative (anche 15%!) in mezzo a pascoli a perdita d'occhio e qualche rara fattoria.
Nel complesso una salita interessante dal punto di vista tecnico, con qualche ampia veduta sulla sottostanteVal Pusteria, ma non molto di più. In estate il caldo si fa sentire, le auto non sono molte ma quando passano passano veloci...
