Challenging climb that could actually be divided into at least three separate sections. The gradients are never exaggerated but often challenging and in any case the climb never lets up. A stop at Vallombrosa is obligatory. Asphalt ok... read more

Salita impegnativa che in realtà si potrebbe suddividere in almeno tre sezioni distinte. Pendenze mai esagerare ma spesso impegnative e comunque la salita non molla mai. Obbligatorio uno stop a Vallombrosa. Asfalto ok
