Salita breve ma non banale. Poco traffico, asfalto buono. Facile se inserire in giri ad anello nella zona

A very quiet climb, passing through several hamlets without any great views. Initially it passes through a small wood and then opens out onto meadows. A drinking fountain is found after the first stretch when, after the tower, on the left opposite the pizzeria. An uneven climb, it alternates between steep climbs until the hamlet of Foppo, after which it flattens out so the average gradient figure is distorted. Once at the top, it is possible to continue to Berbenno on the left or descend to Val Brembilla on the right via Laxolo. Asphalt with a few potholes, but all in all the ascent is not critical.

Salita davvero tranquilla, transita da diverse frazioni senza grandi panorami. Inizialmente attraversa un boschetto per poi aprirsi su prati. Una fontanella si trova dopo il primo tratto quando, dopo la torre, sulla sinistra di fronte alla pizzeria. Salita non regolare, alterna strappi fino alla frazione di Foppo dopodiché spiana pertanto il dato relativo alla pendenza media risulta falsato. Una volta in cima è possibile proseguire per Berbenno sulla sinistra o scendere in Val Brembilla sulla destra transitando da Laxolo. Asfalto con qualche buca ma salendo tutto sommato non è critico.
