Nice climb and from Fraboso Sottana tight road surface. From that town the traffic also decreases a bit, as I found it quite busy in the beginning. The climb was tougher than I thought, maybe because of its length. Lots of other cyclists.
The summit is a ski resort with large car park. Unfortunately, due to fog, I could not enjoy the view. The bakery pours an excellent espresso and serves tasty croissants.

Mooie beklimming en vanaf Fraboso Sottana strak wegdek. Vanaf dat plaatsje neemt het verkeer ook wat af, want in het begin vond ik het best druk. De klim was zwaarder dan ik dacht, misschien door de lengte. Veel andere fietsers.
De top is een skiresort met grote parkeerplaats. Vanwege mist kon ik helaas niet van het uitzicht genieten. De bakker schenkt een uitstekende espresso en serveert lekkere croissantjes.

Better to do early in the morning, so you don't have much traffic. the climb is really beautiful though, with a great view at the top. I would recommend going down from this side, as the other one has a bad surface and is full of drainage holes
