A challenging climb in places. On the initial stretch from the lake to the junction for Poppino, and then on the less-trafficked section with wide hairpin turns leading to Poppino, the road crosses the hill just past a roundabout in the center of town, where there is also a drinking fountain. On the first section of the climb, the asphalt was in rather poor condition (there’s even a section of porphyry), and with heavy traffic, it becomes extremely frustrating to have to stay constantly focuse... read more

A challenging climb in places. On the initial stretch from the lake to the junction for Poppino, and then on the less-trafficked section with wide hairpin turns leading to Poppino, the road crosses the hill just past a roundabout in the center of town, where there is also a drinking fountain. On the first section of the climb, the asphalt was in rather poor condition (there’s even a section of porphyry), and with heavy traffic, it becomes extremely frustrating to have to stay constantly focused and be annoyed by the cars whizzing by. From the Poppino junction onward, traffic decreases, but so does the road width in some sections. Continuing on, the road descends with a slight dip before climbing again to Dumenza and Due Cossani, from where you can reach Agra, Pradecolo, or Curiglia.

Salita impegnativa a tratti. In quello iniziale che dal lago fino al bivio per Poppino e poi nel tratto meno trafficato che a tornanti larghi porta a Poppino, scollinando poco oltre una rotonda nel centro della località dove è anxhe posizionata una fontanella. Nel primo tratto di salita l'asfalto era piuttosto malmesso (c'è anchenun tratto in porfido) e col traffico intenso diventa oltremodo fastidioso restare perennemente concentrati e infastiditi dagli autoveicoli che sfrecciano. Dal bivio Poppino in poi il traffico si riduce ma anche la sede stradale in alcuni trqtti. Proseguendo, la strada scende facendo un rimbalzo per poi salire a Dumenza e Due Cossani, da cui si può raggiungere Agra, Pradecolo o Curiglia.
