You climb up from torri del benaco and for 15 km the climb is mostly gentle on fairly wide roads and good asphalt. notable views of the lake and you pass some very pretty villages. personally, I don't like these regular climbs very much and they are never hard.in springtime it is an explosion of colours in the meadows, really beautiful...then you arrive at the last 1400 metres which are very hard to the average 11% on a very narrow road but with good asphalt. watch out for the cars which ... read more

You climb up from torri del benaco and for 15 km the climb is mostly gentle on fairly wide roads and good asphalt. notable views of the lake and you pass some very pretty villages. personally, I don't like these regular climbs very much and they are never hard.in springtime it is an explosion of colours in the meadows, really beautiful...then you arrive at the last 1400 metres which are very hard to the average 11% on a very narrow road but with good asphalt. watch out for the cars which sometimes don't even brake and it is better to stop and move on. definitely worth it from prada onwards.

si sale da torri del benaco e per 15 km la salita è in gran parte dolce su strade abbastanza larghe e buon asfalto. scorci sul lago notevoli e si passano alcuni borghi molto belli. personalmente non amo molto queste salite regolari e mai dure. arrivati a Prada cambiano i panorami..in primavera è un'esplosione di colori nei prati, davvero bella...poi si arriva agli ultimi 1400 durissimi all'11% medio su strada molto stretta ma con asfalto buono. attenzione alle auto a volte non frenano nemmeno ed è meglio fermarsi e spostarsi. decisamente da prada in poi merita. discesa in compenso bellissima

Nice climb, not too steep and close to our flat. Wouldn't detour for it but worth it.

Leuke klim, niet te stijl en dichtbij ons appartement. Zou er niet voor omrijden maar wel de moeite waard

A nice climb. There are a number of tough sections of over 10 %. But also some flat sections and even downhill. I liked that to catch my breath. As a beginner climber, I found the distance of 22 km long. This made the last km (11 %) very tough. Start slowly and save energy, and you'll get there.

Fijne lopende klim. Zitten een aantal pittige stroken in van boven de 10 %. Maar ook stukjes vlak en zelfs omlaag. Dat vond ik prettig om even op adem te komen. Als beginnend klimmer vond ik de afstand van 22 km wel ver. Daardoor was de laatste km (11 %) heel erg zwaar. Rustig beginnen en energie sparen en dan kom je wel boven.
