Wonderful climb leading to the foot of the King of Stone. Up to Crissolo you climb on a fairly wide and well paved road that goes up the Po valley, in the second section on a fairly narrow mountain road with logically more uneven ground and sporadic rocky debris (be careful on the descent) that goes up a pleasant alpine meadow. While the average gradient is not frightening, the climb is far from easy, with long stretches over 9 percent that can put you in serious difficulty. Pay attention to the... read more

Wonderful climb leading to the foot of the King of Stone. Up to Crissolo you climb on a fairly wide and well paved road that goes up the Po valley, in the second section on a fairly narrow mountain road with logically more uneven ground and sporadic rocky debris (be careful on the descent) that goes up a pleasant alpine meadow. While the average gradient is not frightening, the climb is far from easy, with long stretches over 9 percent that can put you in serious difficulty. Pay attention to the temperature and humidity, often considerable in the valley up to Crissolo. When you reach the top you will find yourself in a majestic alpine environment and, if you are lucky, you may, like those who write, encounter families of ibex grazing in the basin.

Splendida salita che conduce ai piedi del Re di Pietra. Fino a Crissolo si sale su una strada abbastanza larga e ben asfaltata che risale la valle del Po, nel secondo tratto su una strada di montagna abbastanza stretta con fondo, logicamente, più irregolare e con sporadici detriti rocciosi (prestare attenzione in discesa) che risale una gradevole prateria alpina. Pur essendo la pendenza media non spaventosa, la salita è tutt'altro che facile, con lunghi tratti oltre il 9% che possono mettere in seria difficoltà. Prestare attenzione alla temperatura e all'umidità, spesso notevole nella valle fino a Crissolo. Arrivati in cima vi troverete in un maestoso ambiente alpino e, se sarete fortunati, potrete, come chi scrivere, incontrare famiglie di stambecchi che pascolano nella conca.

Beautiful and demanding climb, very continuous above Calcinere. The final section from Pian della Regina, which is closed to traffic, is beautiful even if the asphalt is not the best.

Salita stupenda e impegnativa, molto continua sopra Calcinere. Il tratto finale dal Pian della Regina, chiuso al traffico, è bellissimo anche se l'asfalto non è dei migliori.

Beautiful climb that becomes unique especially in the final kilometres. I found it more difficult than what the profile indicates. At the top, you are rewarded with a beautiful view.

Prachtige beklimming die vooral in de slotkilometers uniek wordt. Ik vond deze toch lastiger als wat het profiel aangeeft. Op de top wordt je beloond met een fraai uitzicht.

Up to Calcinere the ascent is fairly easy, from there on it is always tiring, it starts with tears over 10％ and goes on like this until Pian del Re. From Pian della Regina to Pian del Re the road is very rough

Fino a Calcinere la salita è abbastanza facile, da lì in poi tira sempre, inizia con strappi oltre il 10％ e va avanti così fino al piano del Re. Dal Pian della Regina al Pian del Re la strada è molto rovinata
